Preparing for Christmas











I have been wanting to catch up on my blog...seems as if there is never enough time in the day to do all of the things that I would like. This past weekend Julia and I decided to bake some cookies. Julia loves watching me in the kitchen and always wants to help. I handed her the bag of chocolate kisses and she managed to help unwrap most of them for the Peanut butter kiss cookies. It was fun watching her concentrate on the foil wrapping and she was so proud. I did get a picture of her with my mixer..it was off of course!!




On Sunday we all decided to go to the mall so that Julia could sit on Santas lap. I asked Evan to dress up in case I needed back up since I was unsure of how Julia would react....you see we had been to the mall once before and she waved at him and as he waved back she held out her arms for my sister and said help me help me!! Evan was not too willing to help since he is a 6th grader and it is soooo uncool to sit on Santas lap or be near Santa when you are in 6th grade. Julia seemed eager to go on Sunday and we waited about 40 minutes in line. She kept watching all the other kids and waved Hi to Santa and kept peaking around the corner at him. The elf that greeted us at the head of the line asked Julia if she was there for Santa and Julia nodded her head yes. She then asked Julia what she wanted for Christmas from Santa and Julia said, "A Choo Choo book and a bike.....a blue bike" I was shocked since this is the first I had heard of that...It seems as if Blue is Julias favorite color. Well Julia turned the corner to go to Santa and had a complete melt down. She did not want to go near Santa.....Santa said to me..I don't think she will be sitting on my lap...lol I sat down next to Santa real quick and at least got a consolation shot....Oh well...better luck next year!

This is such an exciting Christmas that I don't want to miss a moment! I want to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Health and Happiness in the New Year! It is actually snowing here tonight so looks as if it will be a White Christmas this year
