Baking Cookies for Santa!!!
On Wednesday afternoon before we headed over to Rayme and Pa-Pa's for Christmas Eve, Tyler and I baked some YUMMY cookies for Santa!! Tyler was an EXCELLENT helper in the kitchen and of course as you can imagine he LOVED the cookies!! He had to eat one or two and leave the rest for Santa.

Mommy's letter to Santa Claus...
Dear Santa,
I've been a good Mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children
on demand, visited the pediatrician's office more than my own doctor,
and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade
tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out
over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's
red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room, between
cycles.... and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18
years.
Here are my Christmas wishes:
I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache, (in any color, except purple,
I already have purple) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze,
but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle
in the grocery store.
I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month
of my last pregnancy.
If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like fingerprint
resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music, a television
that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals, and a
refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can
hide to talk on the phone.
On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, 'Yes,
Mommy' to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't
fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the
use of power tools.
I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting 'Don't eat in
the living room' and 'Take your hands off your brother,' because my
voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only
be heard by the dog.
If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough
time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the
luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being
served in a Styrofoam container.
If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to
brighten the holiday season.
Would it be too much trouble to declare chocolate a vegetable? It will
clear my conscience immensely. It would be helpful if you could coerce
my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if
they were the bosses of an organized crime family.
Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is calling and my son saw my feet under the laundry
room door. I think he wants me to feed him or take him somewhere..
Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and
come in and dry off so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies on
the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet. (You
promised me last year you would lose some weight with me so next year
you and I could be a cute size six...)
Okay, some requests go too far.....
Yours Always,
MOM
P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my
children healthy, safe and of course, young enough to always believe in
Santa.

Hangin' with Aunty Jess and Sum Sum
On Saturday, Jessica and Summer came over to hang out with us!! We had so much fun!! We cooked out on the grill, went to Santa's Village in Richardson and tried to drive through Deerfield in Plano. They were both extremely crowded, so we did not stay long other than the line we sat in waiting to get through Deerfield. We still had a great time! We love spending time with Jess and Summer!
Thanks again you two for coming over and hanging out with us!!!
