I’m wrapping the girls’ Christmas presents right in front of them.  I’m guessing I won’t have this luxury in future years.

Evidence that Maddie kicked off her second birthday the right way … with chocolate donuts from Daddy!

Every once in a while, the girls and I will snuggle in Maren's bed and tell stories to wrap up the bedtime routine.  Tonight I shared tales of my cookie baking adventures with Grandma Lange, so today it only seemed right to bake a batch with the girls. Snickerdoodles were the cookie of choice!
