On Monday we booked 3 plane tickets for the kids & I to fly to NH on Tuesday. Talk about spontaneous. I called and told my mom she was getting an early Christmas present- US! We have had a really fun trip- doing all the Christmas stuff early:
- decorated gingerbread men
- have been reading Christmas books every night before bed
- watched Miracle on 34th Street
- built a snowman (it snowed for us on Saturday)
- put the white Christmas lights on the house
- making hot cocoa
We hit the local theater production "White Christmas", which was very entertaining. At the end they shot out fake snow over the audience and Abby loved it- she jumped out into the aisle and started spinning around in it. She stuck out her tongue to catch the "flakes" (which were tiny bubbles so we had to whisper- no no- its soap!). Colby did not like it at all. He got really mad and pulled his jacket hood over his head to protect himself. We were laughing so hard at their total opposite reactions. You really had to be there.
Anyway- it has been a great little break from the routine and a surprise to be able to see my family at Christmas. Here are some pics of the kids decorating cookies.
