Christmas baking

Today Emmalyn and I had a wonderful day.  We made sugar cookies and shortbread cookies.  We had the Christmas music playing the in background and the snow was falling outside.  Such a great day.

We had so much fun, can't wait to do it again.  It is one of the first times that I have baked with Emmalyn, usually I do it after she has gone to bed, to avoid the mess LOL.  But have to say she she did great.

It was also so cute she would stop and look me in the eyes and say I Love you.  It made my heart so happy.

Merry Christmas to all.

Tis the Season

Tis the season for Christmas partys and festivities.  The next few weeks we are very busy with upcoming events.  I was having a hard time getting into the spirit of it, but last night we decorated the Christmas tree.  It is a pre-lit tree with retro-style lights, so much fun.

Earlier this week I took Emmalyn for a hair cut and then we went and seen Santa at the mall.  She did so good, such a different from last year.  Last year she just cried it was horrible, but this year, she was so excited and just couldn't stop talking. 

Then today we went to the children's Chrismas party put on by my office.  It was a play about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and included a buffet lunch a visit from Santa.  It was a great day.

On the way home Emmalyn fell asleep and is now napping.  What a great day.
