I am trying to wrack my brain for posts about the kids - strictly but they haven't really done anything insane lately so there is not much material there. They are being awfully good due to the threat of Santa's list but I fear that may back fire in January. Cupid can be a mite mean, can't he? I think in the Vallier house he'll have to have a basket or something. A basket of note Mom's and Dad's send to him when the kids are good and bad. Then right before Valentine's (I know I'm reaching here) he counts them up and if the goods out weight the bads.... well you get it. That's kind of a tough sell even to a 3 year old. Now the Easter bunny we can work with.
Last weekend my father and Karen came and brought the kids their gifts. Barbie pool. Kids love it - floors are really clean lately! Barbie car, I want that car, bigger of course but I want it. Barbie herself, of course, and the Little People farm. I also love those Little People. They are like the new weebles.
Anywho, I am venturing to say that Brooke is going to bed without much cajoling. There is still a couple trips back for hugs and kisses and one trip to the top of the stairs to make sure we'll check on her but overall the whole thing takes about 5 minutes vs. 3 hours.
This week we have a LOT coming up. Christmas party on Friday night, Papa John on Saturday, Sunday is Christmas eve which means Santa, I mean Yia Yia, comes over. Then the big event!! All the hullabaloo for the initial reaction to the tree and stockings and stuff. I'm as excited as they are I think.
Have some eggnog for me and enjoy your people this holiday season!!
