'Tis the Season

Christmas is right around the corner so Josh and I bought our first Christmas tree together. And as we were about to deck the halls, we discovered that ornaments don't come with hooks. Isn't that weird/frustrating?

Second, it seems that the best way to celebrate the holidays is with sugar (and lots of it). My work hosted a treat exchange where we all shared cookies, brownies, muffins and other sweets that made my teeth ache. Yesterday, Josh was in need of a serious sugar fix so we made one of the treats from the exchange...Layered Brownie Goodness. It includes brownie mix, cookie dough, caramel, toffee and chocolate chips. It's delicious but I definitely wouldn't recommend more than two servings in one sitting. Just thinking about it is actually kind of making me feel a little sluggish.
