Poor mom had to work today, so Miss Mallory got to hang with Aunt Emily and her favorite cousins. They went on a field trip to the Y to go swimming and to Emily’s in-laws for a Christmas celebration. I joined up with them at Em’s after work – Mallory has the *best* time hanging with Shane, Lauren & Liam, it’s so fun to watch.
Mallory & I are at home tonight waiting for Santa, but I have to hurry up and go to sleep because Santa won’t come if we are awake (that’s that I had to tell Shane so he didn’t try to stay up waiting to Santa to come). Shane let me take some of the chocolate chip cookies they made for Santa; I tried to get some of their rice crispie treats too but Shane said that Santa only likes chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and I have to make sure to leave milk out too, because according to Shane if you don’t leave milk out for Santa he will bring you coal. So milk & chocolate chip cookies it is.
Next year I have to plan it a little better because I have no gifts left for Mallory to open tomorrow morning when we go to Mike & Emily’s. Not such a big deal now since she doesn’t care about opening gifts but next year will be a different story. So if you are reading this, shoot me an email next year about a week before Christmas, reminding me of my great idea. Thanks.

Here are some pictures of Mallory’s crazy cousins from today (Liam was off napping, so no pictures of him):

I just found out about this cool new blogging thing so I am looking for excuses to play around with it. Here are some pictures from last month that I never shared.
