When we got home, we decided to keep the fun going by making a batch of Christmas cookies. Unfortunately, Noah did a considerable amount of nose picking in the decorating process, so these cookies cookies couldn't be distributed. (Darn- we had to eat them!) There is just something so magical about having a 6 year old and a 3 year old at Christmas time. I wouldn't trade it for all the world!
Then those flour cover kids jumped in the tub. They always take baths together. Sadie informed me that there would be just enough room left in the tub to put Miles right in between her and Noah. Kamron said that if we put them in that order that our kids would look like a hamburger in a bun. (I love that man's sense of humor!) The kids have been talking about Miles a lot. I think that they sense that it won't be too much longer until he's home. Sadie totally gets the whole thing, but Noah doesn't really understand what's going on other than that there will be someone new to play with. Last night when I tucked him into bed he said something that I thought was the sweetest thing. He said, "Mama? Can we put some of our cookies we made in the mail for Baby Miles?" I wasn't sure what to say. Then he added, "We can send him a Christmas Card and he'll be so excited he can show it to his mommy!" How I wish that could be true! Oh how I love those kids!
