i should have taken pictures of us out on delivery - or even of the cookies the kids helped make - but i didn't. we put together a few plates of cookies and fudge to give to our immediate neighbors for Christmas. we loaded the plates into the wagon after daddy got home (he was home just after lunch) and maddux was sleeping. the kids were so excited to give out the cookies they had worked so hard on. we made sugar cookies that were sugar with a capital "s"! and the kids decorated them with an assortment of sprinkles. we also gave chocolate fudge and iced pumpkin spice cookies.
it was much colder out than it had been earlier in the day and madelyn in particular was not dressed warmly enough (by choice, i tried to get her to wear a hat). after our deliveries, we came home and had hot chocolate and watched a Christmas movie (i think it was the veggietales version of it's a wonderful life). i did take pictures of them with their hot chocolate, but madelyn would not look away from the movie long enough for a picture. i did like mason's attempt though.
next year we will make cookies again and deliver them a little earlier in the week. love.
p.s. one of the reasons i wasn't thinking of pictures is that i was in a hurry to get the cookies out. i had also spent the morning in my pjs and robe expecting to take a shower and get cleaned up after matt came home - which i did. but not before maggie ran away and i had to chase her in my robe in front of a stranger and a neighbor i hadn't met yet who were trying to help me. did i mention that it was 11am?! no more late showers for me.
