The Holidays

From the week of Thanksgiving through the end of December, we at the Taylor home worked our little tails off. Both Chris and I were each working 60-80 hour weeks between my full time job in the leasing office, his regular work hours at the bakery, and both of us working at our little kiosk at the mall. Chris has worked every holiday season like since 2004, but this was a first for me. Blegh! We were so happy for Christmas to come and be over with!

Here is a picture of our kiosk we had at the mall for the holiday season


A friend of ours asked if some people from his single's ward could use our bakery to make a gingerbread house. Apparently there was a competition between the Elder's Quorum and the Relief Society, or something. In any case, some people came, and Chris helped them bake TONS of gingerbread. They later brought the finished product back to our bakery to display (and yes, they won).


We put up our little Christmas tree at the bakery (my favorite was the cute little loaves of bread tied up in ribbons and bows under the tree), and then picked it up Christmas Day and took it back home for our Christmas celebration which started later than most people's. I'll talk more about our Christmas/New Year's in my next post.
