Christmas Eve 2012
Christmas Eve spent with all the "Grands"! And although there were many toys...even Brenden enjoyed the Barbie Doll-House. Not nearly as I enjoyed watching their Dad build it though. At one point hearing him mutter
"I could build them a real house...from the ground up...easier than assembling this..."
LMAO!
Remembering his first tiny bike with training wheels...one of those miniature bikes. And the clerk asking me before Christmas
"Are you sure you don't want that assembled?"
For those new parents out there...the correct answer to this question is
"YES, PLEASE!"
But no...I thought it would be an adventure. It was an adventure...actually...kind of like a trip down the Nile...on a wooden raft....with no paddles or mosquito netting...
But James did a great job and with the addition of three pizzas and a crockpot of hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles on the side...and homemade Snickerdoodles and Sugar cookies and Chris playing guitar we had a wonderful holiday!
Did discover the most amazing thing this morning though...having poured the leftovers of the crockpot hot chocolate into a glass container to refrigerate. Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix...refrigerated overnight...tastes just like Yoo-Hoo Soda when it is chilled!
Who knew?
