Today was Gracie's Christmas Party at Preschool, so Colton and I attended and had lots of fun! She wore a gorgeous green Christmas dress today and boy was she proud of it. You see Gracie is a fashionista, she likes to wear dresses and be beautiful everyday. She really did look beautiful today not that she doesn't every other day but this green dress was perfect with her green and brown eyes and strawberry blonde hair! Gracie, Hayden and I made cupcakes last night for her party, I was smart and made the mini cupcakes and they were a huge hit! She had a book swap today with her classmates and she got the book The Chnristmas Story, I was excited...I can't read wait to read it to them tonight. She made me lots of pictures and two ornaments for the tree, I know this sounds silly but they are always the best gifts! She colored a picture of baby Jesus and I swear it looks like a 5 year old helped her, it is because Hayden loves to color...Gracie learns tons of things from her big sister. When the teachers handed out the pictures, all of the other parents even commented on how good it was!
I forgot to write about the girls and I making candy cane cookies on Sunday. This started out being an easy project, but it didn't work exactly like the recipe said...so I called my Aunt Beth for some advice and we got the cookies made. They turned out huge and funny looking but all that mattered was that the girls got to play in flour and food coloring and make a HUGE mess and I even let them make their HUGE mess without saying a word. They were having so much fun and while we were making the cookies we were listening to Christmas songs as loud as we could stand it and they were singing as loud as they could. Then I let them take a long bath and fixed them hot chocolate and popcorn for their Christmas movies. They get so excited every night when we find Christmas movies or shows on TV. The ABC family channel does the 25 days of Christmas! Hayden told me Sunday night that "she had the best day ever" I love that they think spending a silly day with Mommy is the best thing ever!!! I love making all these memories with them!
Chipper has still been mischievous, he has fixed himself peanut butter sandwiches, ate candy cane cookies, landed on the ceiling fan, played with barbie dolls and played dress up with Colton's cowboy boots and hat! You never know where you will find him and what he will be doing. It is so funny when they find him, it is still the first thing Hayden does every morning. The other morning when he was playing with barbie dolls, she thought that he had taken her show and tell out of her book bag and she was mad! I told her that he didn't, but she kept saying that he did, so I opened her book bag to prove to her that the barbie doll she packed up was still in there! She was okay after that!
Well I had all the pictures to go with this but for some reason it will not upload them! I will try again later!
