I love what you and your family do each year. My huband went to see his Mother and Sister for New Year and our son Caiden stayed with me. He and I took down our Christmas decoration scrubbed the livingroom rugs and rearranged the livingroom furniture for the new couch we are getting.

Also baked cookies. I have no idea how I lost 15 pounds during the holiday. Other than I made 42 dozen cookies, and putting up and taking down decorations.

Garrett is adorable. I like he will amuse himself so you all can sleep. He is growi g so fast. We too have been purging room in our home, a lot of work but worth it. Your Applesauce cake looks so good, al so the bread and Tortilla soup. I love homemade soup on a cold day.

I will have to watch the movie 'Brazen' I read the book, I will have to reread it before I watch the Movie. Looking forword to the next Nora Robert's and JD Robb books. I just finished 'Forgotten in Death'. Truly love this series of books. I have my husband hooked every night I read Two chapters to him of the In Death series. We are now On the fifth book. 'Ceremony in Death'. Thank you for all the enjoying hours of reading.
Sincerely
Patricia Freilich
