Cookies, how could I forget.

Christmas Eve…finally.  I had my day planned out.  A to do list that was a mile long.  However, the kids had other plans.  Yes, they both decided to sleep until nearly 10:00.  On mornings that they sleep in, Mommy sleeps in as well.  This probably was not a good idea on a day that I had TONS to do.  Once we all woke up, it was to the list.  Oh wait…Jon decided to give me a break and took Kayla to work with him.  I was very grateful, but had to prepare for this change in plans.  Dress our little princess, make sure she had snacks and juice, and move over the car seat.  Ok, all done.  Now to the list.  First thing…wrap presents.  Completed, but as I stated in the previous blog, Christian decided that he wanted a certain gift. Off to Target (not on the to do list).  After our short trip to Target, it was time to put Christian down for a nap and make some Christmas treats for Jon and Santa.  Of course, I got side tracked on my way downstairs (the toy room needed a mom’s quick touch).  So, I did not get to cooking until much later.  Once the toy room was picked up, I started the Trash Mix and tackle a couple of items on the to do list.  By now, it is 3pm.  What happened to my day.  I still had a list of things that needed to be completed.  Agh!! There was no way everything was going to get done...the day was halfway over and only 4 things marked off.  Well, trash mix was completed and cooling.  Kayla and Jon return home just in time to start thinking about dinner…Tamales and cheese dip for Jon and I and spaghetti noodles and meatballs for the kids.  Completed…after dinner Kayla insisted that I open my Christmas gift from her and Christian.  So, after dinner, we all sat down and opened our gifts.  The kids enjoyed tearing into the paper.  It was the highlight of the day.  After tearing the paper, Kayla asked about the cookies for Santa.  Agh! Cookies, how could I forget.  Time to bake the cookies.  20 minutes later, warm chocolate chip cookies that we all enjoyed.  Once the kids devoured their cookie, it was time for bath and bed.

So, you might we wondering if my to do list got completed.  Yes! Can you believe I got everything done.  However, I did stay up until 2:30 making sure that everything was perfect for Christmas morning.  What a day!  Until next year…
