sugar, butter, flour

Ugh, I want to try them all, okay. 

You know I can make that happen! I could make a little gift basket for you. You deserve it! 

What are they?? I would like to try all of them, except the crunchy ones, please.

Well I have sugar cookies with icing that has holiday designs on it, cinnamon rolls, gingerbread cookies, pies and some cupcakes as well. 

If you’re in need of a taste tester, I know a man who’d be very keen to take on the role. That man being me, who as you know, loses almost every shred of willpower every time I walk by.

I didn’t think I’d be so lucky to have such kind offers for taste testers! I know Theo want to as well but I think its too much of a role for just one person to have. I mean it is the holidays! I think you deserve to treat yourself!

That sounds exciting, and also sounds like I’m going to have to do some extra working out. Worth it, though!

It really is! There is something so fun and special about it. It’s the holidays though, you deserve to treat and enjoy yourself! Do you have any specific favorites? I’d love to have them ready for you. 

Only question, I gotta ask: do I get to taste test before every other fucker?

Well I think that could be arranged! I am always trying to make something new every week. So the help would be greatly appreciated! 

Some people think Gradian is boring but it’s really not. I don’t think they can see the full potential of Gradian.

I couldn’t agree more! It’s like if people took a moment to realize how wonderful they are, they could see they could thrive anywhere. 

See, I forgot that too. I’m worried I’m going to forget everybody I know and love within months. Why does life have to ruin my memory while I’m trying to make great memories? I have trouble too because when I work a night shift, I forget which day it is and then suddenly a week passes and I just don’t know what’s going on. Yeah, that’s probably the earliest one I can think of too. Ferdinand?! I have literally never heard of a person named Ferdinand!

You know what helps though? I keep a journal and a planner with me whenever I’m out. But especially when I have to put in a lot of hours at work. I write down a little moment or memory that came from the day that I want to remember. Then you can always look back on them too. But you aren’t alone in that fear. A lot of them were really just side characters. It was a very common name for the times they were based in! But it would make sense that they didn’t use it in the movies! I feel like that would have just gone over my head as a kid! 

That’s exactly right! I think I’m still pinching myself sometimes when I wake up next to Jackie. That and we get such great businesses out of it. I don’t see how anybody could turn anything down if your baked goods are on offer. I’ll just turn on the charm and we’ll win them over.

I have a strong feeling that it’ll just be that way forever! And how wonderful is that going to be? To constantly feel so much love and happiness from someone. Right? It amazes me every day. Oh wow if we bring in your charm, that alone could win people over in a heartbeat. 

They sort of were adorable. Although, the arguments were probably a little more civil before I got there. By the time I walked by, they were playing out scenarios. I had to stop the Harry Potter votee from casting one of the unforgivable curses at her friend. That was less adorable.

Oh...my gosh it got that drastic? They must have been very passionate about it. Even if it is worrisome it is really nice to know that book series still have such an impact on kids. Especially ones that were so popular when we were younger.

A decent amount. I’ve got the usual maternity leave but I’ll probably stay off for a few months even after that. I don’t want to go back too early. 

If I were you I’d try to take all the time I could! I feel like as tempting as it is to want to go back you want to really take the time to relax and treasure those first memories you can make together. 

Kaia: I feel like Ellis might throw me over his shoulder or Asher might drag me away from leaving.

Kaia: oh goodness, that guy. 😂😂😂

Bethany: Well I would be very happy to have their help!

Finn: It truly is! You basically want to cuddle it like a baby and want to protect it with all of your heart.

Finn: It, yeah, was more than enough time. Thank you, Bethany, that means a lot and you and Elijah seem so sweet together, too. I'm also happy for you two and I can't wait until the wedding.

Finn: Thank you! Exactly, and I'm sure he'd be more than willing to take orders from his favorite person. Aw, I can imagine and I hear you, though. I love the support that Carmen gives me and I make sure to give her the same amount of support as well.

Bethany: But how great to have someone that special in your life that you want to keep safe! Makes me feel so lucky.

Bethany: Well of course! It always warms my hear to know that great people are happy. They really deserve it! Oh thank you so so much! That means the world.

Kaia: I know! I wouldn't even IMAGINGED me not being here and Im pretty sure Asher would wrap himself around my legs. Or at least you and Tilly.

Kaia: I'm surprised you guys haven't eloped yet. 😂😂😂😂

Bethany: I am sure there would be so many people stopping you from going! Plus you need to be here for the wedding too! And the reception after!

Eli: Want met to tell you now? Or do you want me to wait, until we go to the sex shop?

Eli: I sure hope so! We're almost there now.

Eli: Are you suggesting what we did this past weekend in London for my birthday in the mean time? Because I gotta be honest babe. I'm quite exhausted, but I definitely enjoyed myself. 😏😏😏😏

Bethany: Oh that is such a tough decision, babe...but I do like the idea of wondering what's on your mind for awhile.

Bethany: I mean...It seems like such a great way to make time go by faster. And we sleep so well after all of our fun. It'll make the days go by faster 😉

Morgan: I mean, I am related to Marley, Tilly, and Connor. So I feel like it is in my DNA to be sweet, but thank you! Im so glad to be back, as well, I'm so glad to be back with you! I'm so glad that Im back before your big day!

Morgan: Oh no, I'm sorry and Im also sorry on Alex's behalf, he followed my lead.

Morgan: It truly is. So, tell me everything that I've missed ever since I left for Brussels!

Bethany: That is so very true, it runs in the family! You really do have such great timing coming back when you did!

Bethany: As long as you guys are having a great time that's what matters!
