taking time

As a family, we decided to take a little time out from the business of the season. We planned a night at home, forgot about work and lists, and just spent time together.

We had a really good time. We made Christmas cookies while listening to Christmas music. And if you ask Caorline, she will tell you she did them herself. She did decorate well but needed good supervision to not decorate the floor more than the cookies. And Dad had to keep a tight hold on Grace. She wanted to help so badly, she kept reaching for the cookie sheet. But since she had already just about put it on the floor, we thought it best to have her keep her distance.

After we were done, we just hung out. Daddy was chasing Caroline around trying to eat her cookie. She was laughing so hard. It was really great. And since Caroline was laughing, Grace was laughing too.

I was a great memory made.
