We spent Christmas Eve going to a new church we are trying up here. It was a sweet, simple service full of families celebrating Christ's birth in the manger. It was perfect, minus the coughing spell (I've been sick) I got during the middle that was so bad I started gagging and had to go to the bathroom to throw up. Just lovely. Thank goodness I made it to the bathroom!
Afterwards, I made dinner, we ate together and made our Christmas cookies for Santa. This is a tradition my family has always done, so I'm glad to be able to start it with Felicity. She was a great helper! (And yes, in case you are wondering, she does have a bit of a black eye from falling into the sofa table.)
Toddlers in charge of sprinkles on cookies is a bit dangerous!
Waitingpatiently...
Once they were done baking, I was taking Felicity's picture on the hearth by the cookies we made. (By the way - the 2nd, 3rd and 4th batches turned out much better. Our stars were a little unrecognizable at first, but we got the hang of it. Using lots of flour = messy, but much prettier-shaped cookies.) Anyway...the temptation of sitting by a plate of warm cookies was just too much for this little girl -
Thrilled I actually captured a decent pic of the three of us in front of the tree with my auto timer on the first attempt!

She just couldn't resist :-)
Then off to bed while visions of sugarplums dance in our heads!
