More Christmas Preparations

Finally on December 22nd the babies were out of school for a two week Christmas break. We didn’t waste any time getting the house ready for the Feast days of the Nativity. Lily busied herself making muffins to be eaten on Christmas morning. They all requested Pumpkin Chocolate Chip opposing my usual mix up of Cranberry Chocolate Chip. But pumpkin can still be Christmasy right? In any case it’s always yummy. Gerhardt mopped the kitchen and it needed it after about a month of soil-ness.

I’ll add here it’s very very strange to me to have babies that are getting old enough to actually perform these sorts of tasks. Work yourself out of a job right? That’s my plan anyway.

Our December has been so full this year. I almost forgot to post about the babies’ school Holiday/Winter/It’s really all about Christmas anyway right program! We had 5 in it this year and after arriving a hour before hand and having to stand in an epic line and still being 6 rows back dodging heads and shoulders with the rest of the masses, I decided to petition the school for a perpetually reserved front row seat. I think Phil and I deserve at least that for having the most children in the program don’t we?
