A relaxing day at home

I had imagined that this week would be relaxing and that we would have spent lots of days at home.  For some reason, that did not happen until today, but we sure did enjoy it.  We spent the morning around home.  The girls played, dressed up like princesses, and went to "the ball."  At one point when I checked in on them Handley told me they were waiting their turn to dance with the prince.  :-)

Harper had striped off her dress-up clothes, except for the skirt, at this point.  Here she is sucking her thumb and rubbing her belly button...what she does to soothe herself. 

Another highlight of today was making cookies for Santa!  Every time I mentioned that the cookies were for Santa Harper would point to herself and say, "me" telling me that she wanted the cookies.  When they were done we kept eating them and I was getting worried there wouldn't be any left for the big guy.  I shared my concern with Handley and she told me that he couldn't eat that many anyway.  We ended up setting aside three for Santa (the number Handley came up with) just to be sure we didn't accidentally eat them all.

As you can tell, they LOVE sprinkles

Enjoying her masterpiece

We are so excited about Christmas!  This afternoon Handley and Harper were pretending to "sleep" and then "wake-up" on Christmas morning.  Tonight Handley was doing math on her fingers to figure out how many more nights she had to sleep until Christmas morning.
