Jonathan Botbyl has been...Caught in the Act!!

Gotcha Botbyl!! What better way to enthusiastically celebrate the wonderful Holiday Season than to bake the yummiest and most fattening treats for your family of two!! I'm intentionally not considering Cece the "Christmas-cookie-eating-type"...She's more like the "Christmas-Kitty-Chow-eating-type" although she'd undoubtedly sink her curious little paws into a creamy delicious peanut butter filled cookie batter without a moment's hesitation on any occasion if cats could eat cookies, that is...So, that only leaves two of us!! Ironically, Cece just confiscated a mini candy cane from my "gift wrapping station" as I'm typing this post, lodged it under my desk, and is presently creating a loud clanging sound as she attempts to wiggle it back out...then feast on it...wait for it...wait for it...Got it!!

 As I was saying, of course, Jon always means well, in that he "plans" to serve his amazing cookies to other people (family and friends)

It's just that the cookies are usually gone before that happens (for which I'm occasionally to blame...I said occasionally, meaning usually, or even more than usual??) All in all, I'm exceedingly lucky to have such a great-cooking, but still extremely good-looking husband, who I love very much!!

Well, I sincerely hope everyone is ready for an amazingly fun-filled Christmas, and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas Eve!! (and a Happy New Year to come, but hopefully not too soon...)

Enjoy!! and hurry, finish your shopping. Just for the record, I was shopping at Ikea in the photo above, not Five Below. (Does Five Below make anyone nauseous by the way?? That was actually my Birthday present, from my husband who took me to Homegoods & Ikea on the same day!!!! (Ahhhhhh...the same day!!) See, there I am, clutching my Ikea Catalog along with an interesting array of other items for my entryway, and a couple of awesome Christmas Gifts, which (I made sure) are hidden, or disguised in the picture!!
Without any further ado, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
