Christmas Cookie Assortment

We were surprised Thursday night when Uncle Doug showed up early for his Christmas visit! The kids were so. freaking. excited.  He drove all the way up from Virginia and stopped by first thing before the boys went to bed. And he brought us the most amazing cookie assortment made by his very talented friend Michele, who is by all accounts quite the baker!!   I was so thrilled to see the cookies, and also a bit relieved because I knew I would not be getting much done in that regard. I never have the time or patience to do stuff like that, although for some reason I have the patience to fiddle with photo props to take all these pictures. They were too pretty not to! You know I was in a patient mood for this, because I actually used my tripod for this and you KNOW I hate that thing. It was so dark and rainy that I was at about 1/5 of a second for most of these, or slower. Ridiculous.

Eating and Exploring in New England & Beyond

@blueheavenkw is famous for their Key Lime Pie, banana bread, and their benedicts. So we had all three. And they serve @cuban_coffee_queen_ brews which I really enjoyed.

I totally loved this quiet early morning breakfast. 🌴☕🐓
@blueheavenkw, the beautiful outdoor restaurant in a historic space going back to the late 1800s. I was in awe of the canopy of mature tropical trees that defy gravity. The chickens run freely, and I had baby chicks crawling over my toes at breakfast. So wild. I loved starting our day first thing at this unique place.
Still thinking of that amazing breakfast with the roosters at @blueheavenkw a few weeks ago. It's never to early for a piece of key lime pie, and theirs is topped with a mountain of perfect meringue. (it was also my favorite out of all the key lime pie slices I tried at different places)
