The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 18

Today, I thought we might not get to our special thing. I was pretty busy and I had to take Bethany to the doctor to get a liver panel done because of a medication she is taking. She wasn’t feeling her best and the appointment took us a while. When we got home I had an appointment I had to keep and then it was getting late and the kids asked what our special thing was going to be. I had no idea. I asked for a few ideas and Bethany suggested they do something that was somehow food related. So, I decided to give them the Christmas Special Edition ice cream I bought – peppermint with a peppermint stick on the side. That was a hit with everyone – so problem solved. It was definitely a small thing today, but I was actually thinking we might not get anything done so I was happy and the kids were happy, so it was good.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 17

Today our special thing was to decorate cookies. Everybody had fun and several of the kids were a disaster by the time they were finished with their cookies – bright green and red icing is very, very messy. But, it was fun and they spent about an hour working on their cookies. 
I can’t believe it is almost Christmas and I have so much to do. I am definitely behind this year and I still have so many packages that still need to arrive — I just hope they all get here. Then if they all get here I still have to wrap them. But, the kids have had fun and we have done our special thing every single day and I have tried to make time for the small things and our traditions.
