I have been meaning to make these for years but am always missing some ingredient whenever the time to bake arises. Today I had everything on hand! I was really proud of myself for making cookies on no sleep and on top of everything else, but I couldn&#8217;t have done it without Abe&#8217;s help watching the kids. He deserves credit for making me feel like I could get something done today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_1869.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8862\" alt=\"IMG_1869\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_1869-e1450067896688-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4059.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8863\" alt=\"IMG_4059\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_4059-e1450067907251-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a>Yesterday Abe and I worked on the house and hung Christmas lights.

Those dates have been so wonderful. I want to do them every week because Lydia and I get to talk and enjoy each other. Normally I feel so busy, frazzled and tired that I don&#8217;t get those types of interactions very often anymore.<\/p>\n<p>The day before was Lydia&#8217;s preschool Christmas program. I took a couple videos, but here&#8217;s the one where Lydia was an electric train with her friend, Gunner. I had massaged her whole dry body with coconut oil that morning, and I think she was having some sort of allergic reaction during the program. Her face was quite swollen. It&#8217;s better now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mBwic9mLy5w\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mBwic9mLy5w<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we went to Salt Lake to have dinner with the Sorensons.
