I have to admit that I clicked on your blog because of the name "Joseph", it is a family name for me so I was intreged but I love your blog. I am your newest follower from friday blog hop and I have to make these cookies. Also, I hope you will stop by and join me at my blog - www.skinnyonadime.com.
ReplyDeleteAfter I wrapped all of the presents, my little girl was beside herself with excitement, so I let her put them under the tree all by herself. She got to touch each one and ask who they were for. She hasn't touched them since, but sometimes she points to one and asks who it is for. Other times she will ask how many of them are for her. Christmas is such a joy to watch through a young child's eyes.
