Day 5 (Christmas Eve) Week in My Life 2011

Most of the time

my kids

sleep in different areas of the home.

Sweet Nadya is mostly always very pleasant in the morning when we change her diaper and get her ready for the day.

uh-oh

what did you do Adam?

I love how Nyomi has set up her doll house.

And they are stilllllll sleeping.

My tree has been secretly decorated by the little people in my home.  So sweet.  But don't do it again, ya hear?!

The Elf did remember to move this morning and left the kids a darling little note.

A bath for all three at the same time saves me time and makes them reallllly happy.

Nadya was the splashing queen.

Nyomi devouring her spinach quesadilla.

Sparkles FINALLY received his funeral.  Kind words were spoken and toast on her behalf (sparkles is a girl name).

Nyomi flushed.

and she cried for the little fishy.

But

tracking Santa on the internet proved to be a great distraction from the sadness.

Making Santa's cookies while Nyomi danced to some jingles.

AND

the tracking continued the whollllllllllllle night.

While I made dinner ----- Chicken enchiladas, spanish rice and strawberry salad the kids made the icing for the cookies.

Our fancy dinner.

Somehow I always manage to leave some wrapping to do on Christmas Eve, 'tis the Season for procrastination.  Adam and I finished up the wrapping and got the tree all ready for the morning.

good night.
