Amy came over this morning so we could tie bows on ornaments and package bracelets.
We set the kids up with play-doh….which I save for occasions such as this.

It lasted for about 5.3 minutes.
We then moved on to this and a steady consumption of lollipops..

We’re not horribly proud of our parenting on mornings like this…but they seem to survive.

not proud? jody, if i was their age i would be so thrilled i could jump on a mattress. forget about at that age, right now at 16 – i’d love to jump on a mattress. can you um, tell my sisters and brothers and i were mattress jumping deprived?
and those are the cutest t-shirts i have ever seen…. great job Christa!
Hey Jody, came across your blog today..starting with your adoption one. You take the words right out of my mouth!!!
um, why are there mattresses on the living room floor anyway?? Is there more to the story?
(since i’m not there i have to read between the blog lines…)
