Only 3 days until Christmas... let's be Santa's helpers and bring dinner to daddy's friends at UPS.
Yeah, so this didn't happen and I don't know if we will be able to do this again during peak season. Y'all. EVERYONE shops online. How is that possible? The number of packages that go into the little 'ol center in Bryan, Texas is crazy... I can't imagine what it's like in real cities. Dinner would have to be closer to 9 or 10 for most of the drivers, and then who really wants to stay at work after you've been there for 10+ hours. So, we skipped this one and brought a surprise to our neighbors instead.
Only 2 days until Christmas... put your game faces on - it's GAME NIGHT!
I knew my parents were coming into town on the 23rd so I thought it would bet fun to play some board games and let the kids stay up past bedtime.
We made it through Candyland without a glitch.
Mainly because this kid was the winner. And the girls aren't really into caring much about winning. In fact, Emmy get's sad if she doesn't get stuck on the liquorish and Landry thinks getting any of the "character" cards is awesome - even if she has to go all the way back.
But this kid.
Oy.
(She had a tiny chocolate milk mustache).
We moved onto Uno which was still fun - until Radley got a million cards. Or got skipped. Or had to push the button. Or...
He is super competitive and gets so frustrated when things don't go his way.
(He has no problem; however, if things don't go anyone else's way. In fact - he loves it.)
(It makes me want to pinch off his head).
(But it was Christmas, so I didn't.)
I keep hoping he will grow out of it. Until then, he just gets to learn the hard way.
And if you've never played Uno with this as your view, well... you haven't played with Landry as your "pawtner".
Only 1 day until Christmas... Let's bake a cake for Baby Jesus!
This is our traditional Christmas Eve activity - I'm thinking next year they can do it by themselves!
Emmy and Radley are very into helping - they like measuring the ingredients, pouring the oil, cracking the eggs.
And take the job of mixing very seriously.
Landry joined in when it was time to taste spread the icing.
Happy Birthday, Jesus! The best gift is always you!
