It's inevitable. Every year around this time I somehow end up on our kitchen floor crying. I wish I could tell you I don't know how this happens . . . but I am fully aware. It usually begins around Thanksgiving when I start planning my Christmas list. Without fail, I compose this grand idea of baking and cooking so we can have treats to take to our friends, coworkers and neighbors. Perhaps I am the "Clark Griswald" of Christmas baking. I have these huge ideas that somehow don't turn out how I imagined. Then, as I begin my monstrous task of baking I realize I just can't do it all. That's when I end up on the floor. This year was not any different than the years before. As I started baking last night I watched Jason evaluating the situation. Poor Jason . . . he gets the brunt of my baking woes. So, just as the years before, my Christmas baking ends up a mess and Jason stands there watching his out-of-control wife freaking out on the kitchen floor. Maybe next year I just need to stick to sugar cookies! :)

I gotta know what you were trying to make!?!?! I love Christmas projects... baking, sewing, painting! I did all 3 yesterday. My house is a disaster, but I had a blast! Better luck next year!
youre so great to even attempt to try. I always just end up buying stuff. Good for you for having the heart to keep trying every year too....great dedication. I would have given up before i even started lol
I love the baking too! Just the idea of it is soooo Christmasy. My sis and I usually plan to make like 20 things and end up with around 5. But those 5 still taste good. :) And don't feel bad, I know Jason understands. :)
Lindsay & Jason,
Hi there! Thanks for the post on our blog. Of course we remember both of you! Great to make the connection. We are here in Las Vegas too. We both got wrapped up in your sweet Gavin's story and can see what a joy this little boy will forever be. Let's keep track of each other better now!
