Excitement

The holidays are almost upon us. It is fun to see the excitement on the kids faces. Each morning Mathew wakes up and asks "Is it today?" No matter what I say, he runs downstairs to see if their are any new gifts by the fireplace and then counts them all.

This afternoon, was Meghan's class holiday party. Being the room dad, I was in charge of the party. The theme of the day was "Santa's Cookie Factory" Before we got started, I swore them all in as Junior Elves. We started with a game of Santa Says. I never realized how hard it is to be the caller. At the end it was two kids and they were really good listeners. I used every trick I knew to get them to make a mistake. Eventually there was one.

After that it was time to make the cookies. Yes we actually had cookies. The night before, Meghan and I baked sugar cookies for her class. At the party, the kids frosted and decorated the cookies. The best part of being a junior elf was eating the cookie to make sure it was good. We also had coloring and made rice cake reindeer. All too soon our time was up and the day was over. Awwwwwww!

Now what am I going to do with Meghan for 2 weeks?
