1. How much baking did you do before and after Christmas? Do you get more inspired to bake when the temps are cooler?

I did quite a bit of baking with a friend one day/evening. We actually pulled an all-niter trying to finish getting all our goodies baked so that we could get them in the mail the next afternoon. I haven't really done much baking since. I love to bake. I don't necessarily get inspired to bake when the temps are cooler.

Not to food, not really.

My favorite thing is waking up in the morning to my kiddos. Lyric loves to come to the bedroom door and go "mommy, daddy." I think it is her way of waking us up. My favorite thing to watch is my kiddos playing together. It melts my heart.

1. Did you make any New Year's Resolutions?

Not really. I have several goals.

2. Are your decorations still up?

No, I took them down the day after Christmas. I would have liked to have kept the tree up longer but with two very active kiddos, I decided it's best to take it down. As Mikey had already pulled the tree down over him once.

3. What did Santa bring you? Okay, maybe not Santa...

I got a Kindle Fire from my hubby. I really kinda like it.

No, not really. Chris is working on his re-enlistment stuff for the Marine Corps and my Grama is thinking about coming to visit in the spring.

5. Have you had any snow yet?

Nope, no snow here in Virginia Beach. But, boy, would I like a little bit. Mikey hasn't experienced it yet and Lyric did a little bit last year, but not for very long. I want to build a snowman with them.
