This morning we baked gluten-free sugar cookies (which are actually quite good...you wouldn't know you were eating a gluten-free cookie unless I told you) and then The Mayor decorated them. This year he only ate 2 while decorating...much bigger improvement on the 5 we lost last year while decorating. Each of us took our turn helping The Mayor...he just couldn't get enough. He was so sweet sprinkling the sugar, sprinkles and icing on the cookies while every now and then stopping to take a bite from one already decorated cookie. Love Bug looked on...and then went down for a 4 1/2 hour nap. That girl can sleep!
After cookies, we snuggled on the couch to watch "The Polar Express". The Mayor sat in D's lap for almost the entire movie...totally made D's day. After the movie, MeMe and I baked. She made pies and I made holiday braid (our Christmas morning breakfast).
While the kiddos were being bathed, MeMe and I got started on our huge Christmas Eve dinner (which we will be sitting down to enjoy in approximately 18 minutes) and then we went outside to sprinkle the reindeer food in the yard and place Santa's cookies on the table. A few pictures of Love Bug and The Mayor in their matching PJs and they were off to bed. Both sound asleep before 7:00. Now, we just wait for the big guy to arrive with all of the Christmas goodies. I can't wait to see The Mayor's face in the morning and to watch Love Bug feed off of his excitement. It is going to be such a magical day.
