Saturday mid-day

RUS has had a bad cold and cough and J was wiped out from hearing RUS cough all night long and get up extremely early in the morning. So we all snuggled on the couch for a few minutes and I snapped this picture.

Note that R is wearing her special baking apron (thank you, thank you Great-Grammy and Aunt L!) because we had just finished kicking off our holiday baking season with a fresh-baked batch of french buttercream cookies. YUM.

The holiday baking so far is going well. We've done sugar cookies (although I still have to frost them), french buttercream, and just tonight I baked two loaves of applesauce bread. Only five more to go!
