Ada made peanut butter cookies (with some help at the end from Helena). The best part was that she was afraid to turn on the mixer. When she got it to go, it scared her half to death.
We’ve always put the Christmas, but this year Thanksgiving was as early as it gets, so I suggested waiting a few days, but the kids would have none of it.
But they did help me put the entire tree up this year for the first time, so it didn’t take nearly as long.
As far as the ornaments, they were really excited to see their toys again (they wanted me to take pictures of them with some of their favorites), but they were pooped with the tree half done. But then Ada took over and did almost all the rest on her own, even bringing the piano stool over to stand on.
