The bacon was a success. The Holiday Bacon Bites were ok. They did look like the picture and the house did smell amazing. The looks of love from my child and husband came from them walking into the kitchen as I was frying the half a pack of bacon I had left from putting together the appetizers. I was teasing them telling them the appetizers would be ready in two hours and the rest of the bacon would be used for breakfast. My daughter said, "You can not tease us like that! It is not right to make bacon right in front of us and then say we can't have any!!"

I asked Tate to finish frying the bacon and, Toni and I sat on the counter while he did. That was the absolute best part of the day! The three of us in the kitchen enjoying the smell of bacon, talking about our day, and laughing together. I love bacon!!
