Elijah and I had such a good time together working. While I mixed, scooped, and baked, he helped played in the tupperware cabinet. What a good helper... maybe he'll appreciate the tradition more next year. Speaking of family traditions...
Back on Christmas Kickoff Day I made a list of things I'd like to do this year. So I thought it would be a good idea (as we are approaching the half-way mark) to see how we're doing with our goals.
Crank up the long awaited Holiday tunes!Set up, light, and deck the Christmas treePut out all the decorationsHang stockingsBake home-made cookiesMake a crock-pot of hot apple ciderLight the cinnamon, pine, and cookie scented candlesPut lights up around the houseHang wreaths on the doorsSwap out my regular Fiestaware for Christmas dishesSet the dining room table with pretty red and green linensSpend plenty of time with the Grandparents and GreatgrandparentsCook a delicious meal with our familyDance the CHRISTMAS KICKOUT DANCESee the lights at Garvin Park- Go caroling
- See Handel's Messiah (ok, maybe Elijah can't do that. but I can)
- Go sledding -- no snow yet!
- Make home-made ornaments
- Make caramel corn
- Attend a cookie exchange
- Count down with an Advent calendar
- Celebrate St. Nicholas Day
- Read the Christmas story as a family
Well it looks like we're making some progress, but there is still so much holiday fun to be had!

Yummy for the peanut butter cookies. I'm sure you're starting some wonderful family traditions that Elijah will appreciate one day:-)
My schedule for the next week is:
work this weekend, off Mon/Tues, work Wed/Thurs, and off next weekend.
I love making cookies with my girls....well, it usually turns out to be a huge mess, but at least we had fun going down with the ship!
