Catch-up #1: Bells and Biscuits

I'm starting the big update! I'm going to back up to December 19th, the evening we hosted the annual Bell Family Christmas party. It was wonderful to see everyone all together and catch up and visit. The food was yummy, the presents great, and the company even better! Later that week, Claire and I were lucky enough to have Aunt Debbie come over to teach us how to make homemade biscuits. She was so patient with us and our biscuits turned out perfectly! In fact, we've made about a dozen batches since that day :) Thank you, Aunt Debbie, for the sweet and yummy memories.
