Abe had woken up when I fed Clarissa at 2:30 and had never fallen back asleep. Instead he prayed, meditated, and studied scriptures to stave off a nervous breakdown. We congratulated each other on our mutual survival during this season of life.<\/p>\n<p>Then Abe was off to work and I stayed at home and ran the hamster wheel of feeding, diapering, cleaning, feeding, etc. I also managed to keep Ammon alive! And I made dough for springerle cookies, speculatas cookies, and cream cheese dough for jam filled cookies. I also fully baked a batch of zimmsterne (round #3 is the charm) and a batch of Dorie Greenspan&#8217;s incredible brownies. I have been really curious about that last recipe because she uses a crazy method for baking brownies, but wow, the texture of that batter was out of this world.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention I am trying to lose weight before our January trip? Yeah, today was not great for that. In addition to all of the cookie baking, a sweet neighbor dropped off a batch of homemade rolls straight from the oven, four of which went directly into me. We also got an amazing package from our cousins Louie and Ginny from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/\"> mouth.com<\/a>. I was about to type what I ate from that package, but it&#8217;s too embarrassing to list how crazy I was about food today. Maybe being up since 4:30am, nursing Clarissa all day, and feeling constantly stressed by various kid-induced factors throughout the day affected my judgment. Whatever the reason, I made really bad decisions all day long. I should probably be doing\u00a0<em>Insanity<\/em> two or three times a day at this rate.<\/p>\n<p>Right now my mom is at\u00a0<em>The Nutcracker Ballet<\/em> with the girls. It is starting to be their tradition, but since my mom doesn&#8217;t drive at night, I am about to leave and get them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14251\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14251\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14251\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7012-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14251\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lydia playing the harp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So that means this blog post is now over.
