The elves and I have had a lovely little week together this week! School has been out for the Christmas holiday (although there has been concern from the boys about whether their poor teachers are just sitting at school with empty classrooms!) . . . we’ve had two Christmas parties, two doctors visits, ordered a new washing machine (which is still not installed in my home yet), and the biggest news of all is that our Nonna and Pop Pop both sold their house in Maryland and have purchased a home nearby!! The New Year brings promises of great fun with both sets of grandparents and some extra babysitting for mama and daddy, too! EXCITING!
Despite the lack of regularly scheduled activities, we’ve managed to stay busy around here. My elves and I have been hard a work. In case you were thinking that I was one of those people who carefully measures out ingredients into adorable little glass dishes before making things, I will show you these pictures of the chaos that is my three children and me making tasty treats for Daddy’s office friends:
We made some tasty flavored butter for Daddy’s office, and I walked out of the room to grab Anna and when I returned, I found this tower created by designer Hudson Reppard: (yes, those are GLASS jars)
His brother then followed suit. Please look at my kitchen floor . . . one cookie cutter, a tiny man, a take-out menu, an empty butter box, and who knows what else!
This is random, but I’m not sure if these curls will last . . . or where they came from . . . but I love them!
And, my tiniest elf has new shoes on both feet . . . the soles make a clacking noise when she walks on the wood, so we’ve been calling her “clip clop.” W keeps asking about her new tap shoes! And, she knows she makes noise and loves it . . . you can’t stop her!
Go on, Sister!
May every heart prepare Him room . . . get ready . . . Christmas is coming . . . God is near!
