Saturday was full of errands, cookie-making and an early Christmas exchange with Eli's godparents. After helping me make some sugar cookies in the morning, Eli and Maddie helped me deliver them to some neighbors and the mail-woman. Then they ran a few errands with Daddy. After their naps, D and CC came over for dinner. As much of a treat that their presence in itself was, they came bearing gifts. Eli received a McQueen scooter from D and Maddux opened a hot-wheels for herself.
Then CC got them a kitchen to share. They were so excited. I don't think Sunday morning could come fast enough for either of them. (LOTS of assembly was required and it was already bath-time when we opened the gifts.) Sunday we went to church and then home for naps. Lehr woke Eli up a little early from his nap so the two of them could accompany the boys across the street to Monkey Joes. Maddie and I were to attend a Mother-Daughter Tea at the neighbors' house once she woke up. After the Tea and jumping, we joined said neighbors for a pizza dinner. The kids (four, in total) all had a blast, but they were all exhausted. Eli melted down a little before his bath, missing out on playtime with his 'sisser'.
When I brought her into his room to say good-night, she totally grabbed him and hugged him hard. He hugged just as hard back and the two laughed for a good three minutes solid. Life is good.
