Keep Calm And Decorate On

 Last Friday I declared the day-

"Decorating for Christmas and baking some Christmas Cookies Day"

Lets just say there was excitement on the children's behalf! 

I was excited too

I had in my head the way the day would play out.

It would indeed be a cozy day of me decorating and baking a few cookies.

Then i thought realistically and thought to myself how it really could go-

Baby could be a  fussy on that day.

A little boy and girl could be pumped about doing their own type of decorating.

Then everyone could be in the kitchen mixin' and bakin' and making a gigantic mess..

And i yeah, i can kinda all of a sudden lose all sense of calmness at that point..

So i purposed in my heart to-

Have a fun day

Let the kids help out, because this is when their "warm fuzzy feelings of Christmas" are beginning..

And to 

KEEP CALM

Whilst doing it.

Did i hold true.. 

Hmmmm?

For the most part i believe..:) 

Ok i admit i might have sort of freaked out when i looked up and saw my living room floor looking like this..
Yikes.
You would have freaked too, trust me.

I always love how the snowmen and everyone gather real close to Baby Jesus... :)

This was a great job for them and kept them busy while i mixed up the dough.. :)

 This Christmas i hope to remember to make memories that my children will look back on with warm fuzzy feelings.. 

Have a great one and remember to-
