12.1.12 Christmas and so much more

December 1: I want my kids to hear a little about their family traditions. So I will share them, and we can remember and share together...
Tradition day 1: Christmas cookies. My mom loved Christmas and baking, or maybe it was me. I do believe I love baking more than my mom. I love the scents, I love the mystery. I love the exact measurements and trying new recipes. Lately the last couple of years I have found a love of Snickerdoodles. A light cinnamon, crisp on the outside, light and soft on the inside. Bill's favorite are the Peanut Blossoms. Billy's favorite? Peanut Blossoms, Olivia's favorite? Peanut Blossoms. Lelly likes any kind at this point. Baking just thinking of baking stirs within me a passion to create... to mix!

Update: Day 5, eating every couple of hours wears me out. Sick of eating and it's getting cold. Bill's having to work this weekend and that too bums me out. I know this will be over, but everyday I count the days out of chemo and hope today will be normal... maybe this is a new temporary normal...
