As you know, it's Christmas. We've been making candy. Lots of it. Our fudge is great, mom even made a new kind this year...cookies and cream. She made all kinds of goodies: peppermint creams, orange creams, caramels, and even divinty. We can't really repeat some of the things she mumbled when the mixer got super hot and the candy wasn't done yet...something about too much moisture in the air and a few potty words :) We had some delish pumpkin craisin bread for breakfast today and tomorrow we are going to have crepes. Our mom must really love us.
We are crazy excited for Santa to come. I hope he doesn't bring us any coal...we've been trying to be good helpers for the last couple of days. Is Santa still watching?
At grandma Irene's house tonight we did the nativity. Lincoln played the baby Jesus. He was wrapped up in a silky pink blanket. Libby and Izzy sand some songs together and noone could stop laughing when Libby started to sneeze and couldn't sing anymore. My mom asked dad to record it so you could see it but it wouldn't work. She's been trying to think of something special to send to you but the best thing she could think of is to share us with you. Memories to put in your hearts, instead of something to dust on your shelf.
Please think about us watching Home Alone and hear us laughing.
Please think about us in the kitchen, rolling candy and licking chocolate-covered spoons and getting chocolate covered faces.
Please think of us, bundled in our winter clothes, delivering plates of treats to our neighbors.
Please think of us, cuddled on the couch watching Christmas movies and listening to music.
We had a blackout for a few hours last week. We lit all the candles in the house and sang songs about Jesus.
We've been having handstand contests so we practice alll day long.
We have everything we could ever need. We are happy and having fun.
We wish you were here. We love you.
Olivia, Lincoln, Isabel, Ty
