Playing Catch-up Christmas

As many of you may know, I've had a serious case of Christmas procrastinitis...I lagged getting the house decorated (thanks honey), I lagged getting a tree, waited till this past weekend to hang (a strand of) lights (thanks again honey), but I am proud to announce that I finally made some cookies for Santa.

Poor Lu has been wondering why we haven't done this yet. She was getting super nervous that Santa would definitely not be interested in visiting our house cuz we didn't have lights (how would he know where we are?) and no refreshments to offer him upon arrival... thanks to the magical science of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough in a tube, he can now come and hang his stocking cap for a bit.

Oh, yeah, did I mention Luci has pink eye? It is sooooooooooo gross and the twins are almost 100% sure to get it too. When I took ole pinky to the doctor today he said, "make sure they don't share toys (seriously...?), avoid hand to hand contact (suurree...), and make sure to use the drops as directed."

I think I can handle #3, but #1 & #2 happened the minute we got back in the car. And I spent the rest of the afternoon rubbing my eye swearing it was more itchy than usual. We're bound to be the lepers of Christmas at my parents on Saturday...

I don't know if pinkeye can be blamed for her outfit choice. She's in that self-expression stage...

Oh, I almost forgot, I made these tonight for a cookie exchange I'm supposed to go to tomorrow. My friend Martha told me they'd be easier than cookies, but so far they're less mess, but more steps...
