Fridays are clean sheets day. All three beds get new bedding. Here’s a photo of Mama & Papa Bear’s bed, and the two baby bear’s beds.

What does your little ones bed look like? What does your bed look like?

A Merry Little Christmas

My girls had an awesome Christmas morning. They are very happy with all of their new treasures.

The rest of my immediate family came over this morning for a super yummy breakfast, an annual tradition, that’s my niece with her gifts from us. I can’t wait to see her paint-by-number when it’s finished.

I baked two dozen red velvet cupcakes for Christmas dinner at my grandparents, and they are yummy! Amelia and I had to test them.

I hope you all are enjoying time with your family & friends today! Merry Christmas!
