As I predicted, when Jack saw what Lewis did to the mirror, he immediately said, "we have to clean that up!" Somehow I managed to convince him to leave it up there until Lewis went back to the North Pole tonight.
Lewis wanted to remind everyone that there are just two more days until Christmas! Are you ready? Christmas snuck up on me this year but we are getting there. Thank goodness for a four day weeked.
I am not sure why, but apparently you are supposed to wear your Halloween costume when getting ready for Christmas. Today, "Dark" Vader and Captain American converged on "the brown house" AKA Debbi and Reggie's house, to decorate cookies.
Jack and Christopher did great working together and playing games together once the cookies were done. Christopher loved Vivian. He rocked her when she was in her car seat. He even decorated a cookie for her. It was very sweet. Apparently the most important decoration for Christmas cookies are M&Ms.
I collect Precious Moments. I use the word "collect" loosely because its been years since I got a new figurine and the ones I have are packed in the basement, safely stored away from little hands. I have the Baby's First Christmas Ornaments from 1996 and 2008, for Nick and Jack respectively. I hadn't had a chance to pick one up for Vivian, and apparently these things sell out. I called one Hallmark store this morning that claimed to have one. When we got there tonight, they did not. At 8:40pm, I found one, via phone call to a Hallmark store in Old Saybrook. The problem was that they closed at 9:00pm and according to my iphone, the store was 17 minutes away.
Vivian obviously would not know if the ornament arrived on time, and I could have ordered one for delivery a few days after the 25th. However, I really wanted to have it in time for Christmas. Even though Bernie was tired and hungry from shopping, he drove me to Old Saybrook and got me there before it closed. Thank you, Bernie!
Here is Vivian's first ornament:
It has been a fun and productive day!
