It felt like Christmas was taking for.eve.r to get here, and then BOOM - it was two days before Christmas and I was completely unprepared. I had the presents bought and wrapped, and the cookie dough chilling in the fridge, but I wasn't ready for something I had waited on for weeks to be upon me. Because once the wrapping paper goes flying, Christmas is gone for another whole year. Ugh, I'm so ridiculously nostalgic that it hurts my heart for Christmas to be over. But I guess I get to relive it here, remembering how much fun we had!
Britton and her friend Lola made Christmas cookies. We made sugar cookies, and also gingerbread cookies (from the recipe in the back of "Ninjabread Man," a kid's book!).
Santa must have believed these kids when they swore they were good all year because he delivered! Britton got the Shoppies Bride doll, a frog squishamal, a bucket of slime, and a scooter. Barrett got a remote control Rocky, My Little Ponies, and a go-kart. Smiles all around!
It's getting to be more fun watching the kids open gifts than it is to focus on our own gifts! But the hubs and I got some great things too, and even surprised each other with unique finds.
A view of us on Christmas morning, next to the Disney tree! I hope you had a Merry Christmas too!
