Today we received angoody box from memaw and pepaw complete with our Christmas pajamas and a few crafts and our ornaments. The kids got right to work on their crafts and have been loving them and carrying them everywhere since then.
Then it was time to decorate our cookies. Icing, sprinkles. I was feeling like the coolest mom ever. Cause this process is way outside my box. Way outside. I don't like messes. Hard issue to have as a mom. Whatever other moms say, I call BS on their loving icing cookies with their kids. Perhaps it is my personal problem, but this act of the season makes me break out in hives. BUT THEY LOVED IT!! That's all that matters.
Later, We wrote out letters to Santa. It was a big night in our house.
I have nailed Kirby's requests - double trailer andexcavator - Check. But I might have to go to the humane society for Susanna roses requests. A fox??? A ghost??? Another fox!??? This kid!!!
And do I even need to mention the writing and spelling things out?? After the kids went to sleep, I was a puddle on the kitchen floor as I cooked more cookies. I love the magic of this season and the innocence of my sweet babies. I want to bottle everything up and keep it for years to come.
Oh. And. Did I mention we have cookies coming out our ears. Out of our ears. And other orifices.
Where are my cookies??!?! :)
