A lot has been going on lately. We went to Stewart's Market and saw Santa and Mrs. Clause the 1st part of December. I was so happy this year because Kayden decided to at least stand next to Mrs. Clause and get his picture taken this year. Most of you know that Kayden is a little shy and has not sat on Santa's lap since he was about 2. Riley of course had no problem!
Then Kayden was star of the week at school. We made a poster board with a bunch of pictures of him. He got to be the teacher's helper and cut to the front of the line all week. On Thursday he got to bring something special to school and answer questions from the class. Riley and I got to go watch and tell Kayden's class a little about him. It was a lot of fun. I can't believe how fast my boy is growing!
Today was Riley's Christmas program at preschool. He was such a cute little reindeer!! It was a bitter sweet moment for me because Riley is my baby and he is growing up so fast, but on the other hand it is so fun to watch my baby grow up. He is becoming such a big boy!
My sister-in-law and I made Christmas cookies yesterday. We had a ton of fun! I think we are going to make it a tradition and make them every year. Sunday I also helped my mom make fudge and english toffee(my fave!). This is one of my favorite parts of the holidays, getting together with my 2 best friends and making treats! The gingerbread men were a new recipe and were delicious this year. They have orange zest and a lemon squeezed into them. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays as much as us!
