december 18 was read a christmas story. we don't really have any children's holiday books. i ended up reading a story out of a compilation book and kate lost interest pretty quickly. i, however, enjoyed reading a couple of stories - namely the gift of the magi by o'henry.
i remember my 7th grade basic ed teacher, mr. rogers, reading this to us and i have always found it such a good story - especially at christmastime. the selflessness of the characters in giving up prized possessions (her long hair and his grandfather's pocketwatch) to buy a gift for the other. such a sweet story.
december 19th was go to a local christmas activity. we improvised and finished up our christmas shopping. we had a fun evening looking for the last gifts on our list and getting out of the house. we ate dinner at chili's before heading home and our fajitas were tasty!
december 20th was make gingerbread cookies. kate was in and out of the kitchen "helping mama" make cookies.
we had a fun night of baking, making dinner together, and watching a couple of movies.
