Christmas Eve day was beautiful, with warm sunny weather that let us play football outside, and then get crazy on the playset. Rather than just slide, we "upped the ante" -- Daddy slicked the slide up with Armor All and then Mommy took it up a notch by having the kids sit on a burlap bag (like they do at the giant slides at Quassy). The result was a VERY fast slide. So fast that Mommy had to catch the kids at the bottom or they would shoot off and land on their backs.
We also whipped up a batch of cookies for Santa. Move over Jamie Oliver, Gage really is the Naked Chef. Savannah went a little crazy with the red sugar sprinkles. Daddy tried to reign her in and show her how to sprinkled lightly, but Mommy said just let her go crazy...so she did. Santa's cookies were VERY sparkly and our girlie was very happy :-)
Before bed, we all watched Charlie Brown Christmas and the Grinch, egging Savannah on to dance like the kids in Charlie Brown. I think we rewound it enough times for her to dance like everyone - she likes the girl in purple who swings her arms band and forth the best :-)
