Merry Christmas Eve!

December 24th, 2009

The kids are napping and hopefully building up reserves for tonight’s festivities.  First we are going to the Christmas Eve service at church and then we are going to Gigi’s for stew, cornbread, coca coca salad, and vinegar pie – a long running Flowers Christmas Eve traditional dinner.  After that, presents!  And then home  to go to bed and wait for Santa.

Yesterday I got super Mom cudos.  I don’t get them often, so I am proud.  First off, Camden got up from his nap before I was finished wrapping gifts, so he got to pick out all of the ribbons on everyone’s gifts.  He then helped me tie them by holding his little finger on the middle of the ribbon.  Next we made cookies!  Gingerbread cookies!  He got to roll out the dough, cut out the cookies, and decorate.  He did a great job.  Jax meanwhile was confined to the playpen and PBS Kids.  I wasn’t super mom to him, but there’s always next year.
