Christmas is Coming!

 



We put up our tree yesterday. Thus far two ornaments have been broken. I have a few fragile ones up higher on the tree. The kids decorated the bottom half of the tree as evidenced by places where many ornaments are bunched close together. Nadia has a small tree in her room again. I filled two baskets with Christmas books, and that's what Paul and I have been reading to the kids the past two days. They wore Christmas clothes today. Oliver's sweater was 0-3 month, his onesie was newborn, and his pants were preemie size. I started wrapping presents today to send to MD with my mom because she is planning to visit us this week. Paul's grandmother gave me the stocking she made for Oliver on Thanksgiving so there are 5 stockings hanging from our mantel. It will be fun to start making Christmas cookies in the near future. I checked at Walmart yesterday, and they don't carry the type of Fleischman's that Ian can have. I am 0-3 so far in my search so that he could eat some homemade cookies. I did buy him some Biscoff Spread yesterday which is supposed to be a (sweet) alternative to peanut butter. At lunch today he had a sandwich made with that spread and jelly. We are calling it "Ian's peanut butter."

What exactly are you needing to cook Ian some cookies? I could look and if I find some I could ship it to you.
