On the thirteenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me peace and quiet. James and I didn't see each other too much today. He's been working all day, as have I, but once he got home he ran into the kitchen and greeted me ever so sweetly! We see each other everyday, sometimes it's nice to have some time apart, say for example alone time for me to do my crazy work outs! James' mother showed me these amazing work out videos on demand, I was so excited to try them that I did three different work outs today. Technically, I did 4 but I quickly gave up on the weird looking belly dance exercise, dancing is definitely not my thing, however I don't think kick boxing is but at least I can physically do it.
I got some things done around the house today, usually on James' days off I want to spend time with him so I only do the most important things. I also had a chance to make some cute Christmas Bell cookies for him from a family recipe, he loved them and as soon as he saw them he knew they were the cookies him and his family use to make when he was younger.
As much as I see James, I am always so excited for him to get home, even if he just wants to go lay down for the night. I'm almost always in the kitchen preparing dinner or if I'm lucky, I'll go sit on the stairs and wait for him to meet me at the top. Tonight, like most nights I was in the kitchen racing to get the salmon and potatoes done. The one thing I love the most about him (Really, what's there not to love?) is his smile, and when he greets me he always smiles, it shows me that he's truly happy even when days are rough (You can usually tell me the size of the smile). He greeted me this evening with a full smile and even gave me the raising of eyebrows, which actually puts his happy level at 100%.

These are the Christmas Bell cookies I made, and they actually taste fantastic! It was a hit or miss at one point because I thought I hadn't read the recipe correctly. James' humorously pointed out that I forget the little bells at the bottom and yes I did! Let's just point out again that I should probably sit down and read the directions 2 times all the way through before I actually start cooking....
