Merry Christmas!

Our little ones are doing their best right now to fall asleep, but as you can remember it is so hard when Santa will be taking a trip down your chimney later on tonight. This last week before Christmas was spent doing many of my favorite things in preparation for Christmas. My sister, Briley and I went to the Nutcracker last Sunday. It has kind of been a tradition of Amity and I to go to the Nutcracker each year. We have missed the past few years but finally were able to go this year. This was Briley's first trip and she loved it. I let her pick out a Nutcracker to buy at intermission and she acts out the ballet at home. She wrapped him in a dishtowel last night and put him to bed on the China cabinet.

We also have been watching my favorite Christmas movies. There is only one left to watch and I think I might have to wait till I get home for that. It's a Wonderful Life is a family favorite and I still need to find a time to watch it.
Today we were busy making sugar cookies and Christmas ornaments. Briley has been crafty today! Baylor has been a wild man a ll day and of course driving his sister crazy. Tonight we went to Stroud's for our annual Christmas dinner and then went down to the Plaza to walk around and check out the lights. Perfect ending to a perfect day. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
