Warning, lots of photos ahead.
Yesterday our friend Nicole held a cookie decorating party, so the kids could get to work on their cookies for Santa. Ellie was dressed in her little elf hoodie (of course) and got to work smearing frosting around with a small spoon. I told her that she needed to "paint" with the frosting, so she went to town.
Then I told her to taste her paint. She first looked me like I was insane, and then went insane with joy over the delicious taste.
Tonight we were over at Mimi and Pa's for the annual Parmordsen party, which featured delicious food, the debut of Mimi and Pa's new kitchen, and a visit from Santa!
Surprise! Ellie wanted nothing to do with him when he arrived.
She did consent to take a candy cane.
But she was sure as heck not going to sit near him. No siree.
She did calm down enough to go claim her present, of course
And when all was said and done, she was willing to give him a high five. Just no sitting, thanks.
"Oh crap mom, he's right behind us, isn't he?"
I'm excited that Tim has the week off. This morning we got to go on a "flamly" walk, and we'll probably have many of those in the next few days. You know, in addition to wrapping presents, buying last minute presents, and getting all of the holiday groceries purchased. Good thing we have leftover cookies.
