Holiday Preparations

Well with no babysitter to watch the kids, I am sad to report that I haven't done much shopping. It is just too much to take them both and expect to really be able to concentrate on the task of shopping. However, I have done some on line ordering and lots of baking. We have made a couple batches of cookies (from scratch) along with our gingerbread house. We bake while Dylan naps which hasn't been very often but we love it. Once Dylan wakes it is the cookie monster we deal with. The boy LOVES cookies. I have to hide them because if he knows where they are he WILL NOT stop whining until he has one in his hands. Then, he makes the biggest mess possible with even the smallest crumb. We are all enjoying it though! We also opened some presents early. Grammy and Grampa sent a package and gave me the green light for early opening. They both knew just what to do, rip open the wrapping and play with the gift. Thanks for the sweet package and great gifts. Can't wait to celebrate with you in Arizona!

Of course we leave a little time to socialize and play :)
