While this is a tradition I tend to keep for a long time, it is more fun when someone else is in charge. It requires baking cookies, making icing, setting up table, 30 minutes of interest from kids, then the clean up process. All of that was better when I was the kid and left the other responsibilities to Mom and Ann. But someone has to do it, right?
The girls did good this year, and both of them really enjoyed it. Megan ended up with sprinkles, icing and goldfish for lunch, but totally worth it. There is a video if you want to see the experience.
You get the mom of the year award! Where’s Ethan for the clean up though?? Ha!
Unless what……????
Yes, the kids & I can secretly move in with you and Ethan would never know!! That’s a great plan! Alan will just wonder why the house is so quiet~!
looks like we missed big fun!
Hi Julie~ I found your blog tonight and just spent over an hour catching up on your story while weeping. I am Bennett Speck’s mom and your precious Noah has captured my heart tonight. I have been blessed to read your journey and would like to email you; would you mind emailing me your address? Many thanks.
