I've been on maternity leave officially for a week now, and I've compiled a list of things to do:
- Go watch my husband do a cooking demo with Marcus Samuelsson at Macy's Union Square.
- Cook a Spanish cocido feast, a recipe I learned in Spain and haven't had time to cook for years! (sorry, no pictures of this one, but my parents and brother certainly enjoyed it.)
- Bake Christmas cookies (actually, OVERBAKE Christmas cookies), and then redeem the overbake-ness by dipping them in melted chocolate.
- Finish Christmas shopping (seriously, I think this is the earliest EVER that I have finished!)
- Make a Christmas stocking for the baby. Her name will have to wait until next Christmas to make an appearance on the stocking!
- Decorate the Christmas tree!
I'm very happy that the Christmas season has been keeping me busy this past week...but I am getting very excited to meet this baby soon!

You look like you have had a good time! Isn't it nice to be all ready for this wonderful month?! I love the stocking.

How fun, having time off is a treat!
Neal especially loves his cookies extra well done like that, just perfect crispiness!
Can't wait to hear you've gone into labor, hope it's soon now!
