The Christmas Countdown in Full Swing!

Not very interesting pictures this week. John was away most of the week in Arizona and we took the opportunity to finish up all the holiday preparation odds and ends. Call it Preparation C...by next week we'll need the Preparation H.

We baked Christmas cookies for our friends on Wednesday and got them all delivered. We managed, after several nights of staying up until midnight, we managed to finish our Christmas cards (I've now watched more Jimmy Kimmel Live than I'd care to admit...). And, we saw Santa at the mall with our friends Miss Marcy and Lily. (Sorry Mom had to be in the picture so it will not appear here...) Hayley did okay with Santa -- but REALLY wanted Mom nearby. Cole did fine with Santa for the first time...and even managed to get in his request for a General Grievous action figure for Christmas. Thankfully I suspect Santa will be able to accomodate that request.

Hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas holiday. We'll have the full report next week!


After a long day of waiting, Hayley and Cole finally get to lick the spoons when we're all done baking our Christmas cookies.

Cole is working hard to wrap his gifts for his family. This one is Scooby Snacks for Sammy...shhh! don't tell him!

Having fun watching TV and playing on a Saturday night.

More fun...

Even MORE fun!

Are we having fun yet?

Can't wait for Christmas! See you next week!
