- Derek returned from his deer hunting trip Sunday night. I know he had a blast, and they brought home a few does, a buck, and a couple coyotes. It sounds like there were many memories made and Derek had a good laugh telling me about the funny moments. They braved very cold temperatures chasing deer, and he slept well his first night home!
-Erin no longer uses her pacifier. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well she did without it, since she was pretty dependent on it and I went with the cold turkey method. It's funny to hear all of these things coming out of her mouth now. This morning, she counted to three!
-Ella, the Question Queen, has spent the last few days asking questions about both Santa and Jesus. She is learning a lot about Christmas! She is especially curious about the logistics of Santa, the identity of Jesus, and who his parents are. She is also very confused about why she doesn't have school for awhile.
-Erin had a brief stomach bug yesterday, she was throwing up a lot. This morning, she seems better but still taking it a little slow. Here's to hoping she's on the mend before our festivities begin!
-Christmas Plans: This morning (Christmas Eve), we all pitched in to clean the house ("for Santa"). This makes me sound like a neurotic mom, doesn't it? Its for the safety of Santa so he doesn't break his leg trying to set out all of the presents!! :) We also made snickerdoodle cookies for Santa. I highly recommend these because Ella had a blast rolling the dough balls in the cinnamon/sugar! And Erin enjoyed squishing the dough. This afternoon, we are going to church, then headed to Gma and Gpa Cozart's house for dinner, gifts, and games! Tomorrow, we will open gifts here and snuggle in our jammies in the morning. Tomorrow afternoon we will enjoy a night of dinner, gifts, and games celebrating with Gma and Gpa Gustafson!
