All month I've been intending to do something Christmassy with my littles but life just keeps getting in the way. December is a mix of magic and panic for me but we are keeping up with our to do lists so no real complaints here.
This weekend we did sneak in a gingerbread baking party and frankly we found the best recipe on the entire internet. These cookies are amazing. We will be making then again next week. Zayd opted for gingerbread ninjas and Zahra threw in a few Hillary and Bill Clinton gingerbread heads. Her teachers we very touched.
We even let Ziyan in on the fun and he ate about four tablespoons of royal icing. I'm not sure if he ever tasted the cookies.
Sam was on a 48 hour trip out of town for work so I took advantage of the break in schedule to drag my kids to the suburbs (they definitely didn't want to go). We went with some favorite neighbors to visit Windcrest, a community with a 59 year tradition of setting up ridiculously extravagant light displays.
The kids loved it! Phew! Even Z3 was a great sport until about 8:45 when he just kept asking where his milk was. Poor lovey. He did a great job though, considering he was forcibly kept awake for almost three hours after his bedtime.
We made great memories these last few days and only have two days until we get to head to Houston and start the real fun!
