Holly Jolly

Quite a beautiful and festive evening over here <3 After Zumba, I came home to make the cinnamon roll dough (which I just discovered was exploding out of the mixing bowl- a few TurboFire punches took care of that) and we got ready to head to my dadooโ€™s house for Christmas Eve dinner.

(Iโ€™ll probably do a bean tutorial sometime soon- theyโ€™re super easy, and sooooo good) It was an afternoon of dancing over here: I took a Zumba class at work, and a couple…
