Taking a Few Minutes

Piper decided 5:30am was a good time to wake up to eat this morning, so rather than trying to go back to sleep for 30 minutes, I thought I'd get caught up on a few things.

Piper's starting to get the hang up sitting up. I propped her up in this picture though, as she has a tendency to fold in half after a few seconds!
On Thursday, Isaac and I baked chocolate chip cookies from dough that Eddy made earlier in the evening. They didn't have enough flour in them, so they spread out and melded together. So I thought it'd be fun to eat a monster cookie with him. He did too! Fast-forward to the next morning when Isaac wakes up and says "Momma, I got germs in my bed". Turns out he puked in his bed at some point in the night and went back to sleep without coming to get us. Poor guy. Poor me for having to clean it up. The next night he said "I no spit up in my bed, Mamma".

We took our fourth Polar Express ride last night! The first year Eddy and I went, we didn't have kids. Looking back on it, Eddy said last night that he still doesn't really understand why we went when we didn't have kids! I think we skipped the year Isaac was born, but since then have now gone 3 years in a row.
Waiting for the train to come.

The kids with Santa (for the third time already this season!).

And just because I thought it'd be fun, here are pics of our little bell-ringers!
