You came to my room at 3:30a crying hard. You laid with me and calmed down, but then asked me to come to your room because my room is scary. We went to your room and both went right back to sleep. We both slept until 830a! We read some books and then had breakfast outside because it was gorgeous. Daddy found Santa on Flight Aware so we could see where he was!
We came inside to make sugar cookies for Santa. You did a great job measuring, mixing and making sure we had all the ingredients just right. You rolled out the dough and chose the cookie cutters you wanted to use. You even scooted the cookies to the cooling rack with relatively few casualties! You were so proud of your work!
When we finished, you wanted to take a bath so you could play with the new Paw Patrol merpups that Grandma Noot gave you yesterday! You had a blast and I could barely get you out of the tub! I think you played in there for almost an hour!
After lunch, we made frosting and you decorated the cookies. We chose the perfect one to save for Santa! Grandma Weezie came for dinner and was so impressed with your cookies!
When we sat down for dinner you sang your blessing. You ate great and Daddy was of course being silly with you. He showed you how to say “what’s that?” pointing to your shirt and then saying made you look! You immediately went and pulled that on Grandma Weezie lol! After dessert, we all watch Polar Express together. You snuggled with Daddy on the couch. When it was over, we cut up our carrots for the reindeer, spread reindeer food on the grass, put out our magic Santa key and our cookies and milk for Santa. We climbed in my bed together and tracked Santa one last time. He was in South America. You were convinced he was headed to Cuba, then Benji’s house, then to our house. We closed the Santa tracker, snuggled, you said “mama, I love you so much” and you were snoozing in just a few minutes!!! I can’t wait to see your beautiful face in the morning as you are filled with wonder! THIS is absolutely what Christmas is about. YOU have brought the magic to our lives. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars for having you in my life.
I love you so much!!!
