It's Christmas Break. No school, no gymnastics, no commitments. Shopping is done (WOW I know). House is decorated. We are ready. So what to do with two highly active, talkative, inquisitive kids? Keep them busy. So far this week we have made it to two Bounce Houses, the Park, Grandma's House, kept several friends, saw Alvin and the Chipmunks, been to a basketball game-and it's only Wednesday....BUT my most favorite was decorating Christmas cookies. A tradition I have somewhat overlooked. As much as I don't want to admit it, back in my working days I don't remember ever doing this. Have I been missing out or what!!! We had a great time, it even inspired our Elf, Newton. My cookies are actually homemade, which is a first, and they were really good! Most importantly - my kids had a BLAST. It really is the little things in life that matter.
