We introduced the kids to the Mistletoe tradition-
with my parents living in the country, there is an
abundant supply of mistletoe! Ben loved it that Pap
took a gun to shoot the mistletoe out of the tree - Ben
came in the house after the "hunt" and said, "We didn't
kill the mistletoe, but we got some!"

Showing MawMaw the pictures
She got a Disney Princess- Belle
She got Disney Princess boots that
light up when she walks - she LOVES
it! Ms. Christina will love these!
Ben asked for "homework in a blue
case" for Christmas. DeeDee found
a blue case and filled it with "homework".
He was so excited- he kept saying, "I can't
talk right now, I have to do my homework!"
It is great to have such sweet Uncles that will
help open toys! Thanks Boots!
Thanks Uncle Craig!
AP told Pap to watch her princesses- if you know
my Daddy, this is very funny!
We woke up Christmas Eve and began to
make some Christmas cookies for Santa
DeeDee wouldn't let me take a pic of her face since
she hadn't had a shower so those are her hands!
This batch is for sure NOT gluten free
AP took the top off the sprinkles to put "a lot"
on the cookies - I think she succeeded!

We had to test the cookies for quality

On December 23, we celebrated my birthday and Christmas at my parents' house. We then left on December 24 headed to Nani's (my aunt Cindy's) for Christmas Eve supper. We just got back home around 8pm and as I sit here typing, the kids are snuggled in their beds with Grandmother, MaeMae, and Pop (MaMaw is in the next room)! I just heard that Santa is in Mississippi so I better head to bed myself!! Christmas Day posts to follow.........
