And Now the Rest of the Story . . .

Remember this layout from my Christmas album?

2005

We all went to Auntie Amy’s at Debbie’s insistence for Cookie Baking Day. Not only did no one have the stamina for a FULL day of cookie baking, I ended the day by looking down at my hand only to find that the diamond from my engagement ring was gone forever. That was almost enough to make me give up baking all together

I have such awesome memories of cookie baking for my friends and family at Christmas time that I hated having this as one of my worst Christmas memories.

This just has to be one of the saddest sights I've ever seen. Look how lonely that setting looks with no diamond to keep it company?

Thankfully, Mark has put a happy ending onto the story.

Dinner was quiet and romantic just the way we like it.

And that's about it for letting all of you know how the rest of the celebration went!
