Twas The Night Before Christmas

Christmas eve was packed full of craziness... I had to work (bummer) so as soon as I got off work I "dashed" home to pick up Hunter, and was going over in my head all the fun things that I had planned for that night, but as I was driving home I remembered that I hadn't gotten any batteries yet!!! All parents out there understand this problem... (Unless of course your children only play with sticks and string), all children's toys run on batteries. So we run to the store which what was planned on being a quick trip seems like EVERYONE else planned the same quick trip to the same store! Finally we got out of there and was home bound once more. We got home and did a quick pick up of toys, then I got the cookie baking supplies out! I get the dough ready and Hunter came and used every cookie cutter in the house we put them into the oven to bake. Quick clean up of the kitchen to make our traditional Spaghetti dinner. Hunter was his amusing self as he talked about how excited he was about Santa's impending visit. He lit the candles on the table (so he can blow them out of course) and then we toasted to a yummy dinner, family, and Santa. Quick clean up of the kitchen AGAIN and it was time to decorate the cookies. That was so much fun. I think Hunter put more frosting in his tummy then he did on the cookies. And the sprinkles... I had sprinkles on EVERY surface! What a mess but it was so much fun!

Quick clean up of the kitchen once AGAIN and it was time to open Christmas Jammie's, and get into the bath, put in a Christmas movie (Hunter chose The Grinch) and then off to bed so Santa could come.

It was such a long night but full of fun and excitement... Christmas is so much fun to watch through a child's eyes.

and to all a good night!!!!
