Tried to sit down today and take a photo for the Christmas card, but things didn't go so well. UGH. Just little miss pouty lips. It turns out, we need Dad here to do a song and dance so mom can just take the photo. Exhausting. So we made cookies and brought up a Christmas tree (or two, maybe 3) from the basement instead. Found the Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses at the grocery store and couldn't resist. I think this will be my cookie of choice for my cookie exchange this weekend...
Excited for Christmas this year is an understatement. The big tree is still in the basement, waiting until after Thanksgiving at least for that one. And in the mean time, I hope J gets used to these smaller trees and then ignores completely the big tree. Yet to be determined how that's all going to work out. I saw our Elf on a Shelf waiting for us... maybe we'll have a little fun with him this year.
It's been a busy couple weeks, and by the end of this week J will be 14 months old. The cuteness just doesn't end, she's saying "YES!" and stringing along phrases that we can recognize, but obviously the annunciation isn't there just yet. We can hear "Hi Kitties" and "It's Saturday!!" (in celebration of pancake Saturdays ;)). We're so thankful to be over the sickness that was going around our house, and many hopes that we paid our dues for a while, if not the entire winter!
Your cookies look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of Josie, too! I have been trying to take a holiday photo of Zoe but haven't had much luck yet. It's tough -- she can't sit up yet, so it makes it quite the challenge! I have a couple ideas I'm working on, so we'll see.
I'll bet Josie's going to love seeing the Christmas trees all decorated and lit up!
Love the photos of Miss Pouty Puss. She's adorable no matter what.
