Pre-Christmas Fun

The Tuesday before Christmas Ashley and Maclane came over for some Christmas cookie baking. The girls were wild with excitement and after helping to start the cookies they were over it and wanted to play with the little kitchen in Addie's bedroom so we never even bothered icing the cookies. Here are a few pictures of our pretty little chefs.

And the week before we made a trip to the mall to get Jarom's hair cut. The lady at the hair salon asked Addie if she was going to go see Santa and so Addie was persistent after that about wanting to go see him. So after Jarom was done we headed down with me expecting Addie to be freaked about a stranger. We walked by Santa and stopped at the side to show him to Addie and he saw us peering and bribed Addie to come over to him with a coloring book which she snatched and ran back to us with. Then he bribed her with a hat, and she ran back to us again. Then I told her to tell Santa thank you so she walked back over to him and he asked her if he could pick her up and she agreed! She sat in Santa's lap while he chatted with her, then we headed home. It was a very slow day for Santa, but for that I am grateful because Addie got the time she needed to warm up to him and now LOVES to see Santa!

Here is Addie with her stash from Santa. Next time you see Addie ask her what Santa brought her and she will tell you a hat and a book. She has a great memory! Never mind the tricycle, barbies, and other fun things Santa left at our house! :)
