One week away!
 I know you will all be completely surprised at this admission, but I am what Josh lovingly calls a Christmas freak.

Since there is a chance that this could be our last year without kids, I thought I would do as many things I could that can be done without babies in the house. I made copious amounts of cookies, and I made peppermint soap for gifts. And it is possible that I went slightly overboard (we have hundreds of the cookies, all kinds…)
