Christmas Goodies

We've been cooking a lot of Christmas goodies this week to take around to neighbors and friends. As you can see, we made a LOT of caramel. We also made a batch of rocky road fudge, some cranberry-orange bread, and a batch of macaroons that didn't look pretty enough so we ate them ourselves.

To burn off the calories, we walked around to the neighbors and delivered them. It's been fun visiting with them, and getting to know them a little better, all while spreading Christmas cheer (not to mention that we don't have to worry about doing our Christmas baking until next Christmas). We're going to make this a Christmas tradition for sure.

In Ethan news, he had a lot of fun playing his bff, Nolan. The two of them were having a great time playing with cell phones together, although he did start crying his eyes out whenever Nolan would start making loud noises. It made him really upset. Funny stuff. We'll have to work on Ethan's people skills (or just make sure he gets to bed on time so he isn't so touchy).

Ethan also had his 9 month doctors appointment, and he is doing swell. He's still growing like a weed and hitting all of his milestones.
