It's been impossible this year to get schedules together, so instead there are a bunch of different gatherings with different amalgamations of people. Last night it was Heather & her family at my mom's along with us. Only 3 kids and yet it was a whirlwind of activity and quite overwhelming.
We had Mexican food for dinner, delightful holiday drinks and desserts (capped off with pineapple dole whip à la Disneyland) and peppermint schnapps coffee. The kids colored and looked at Christmas toys and Sophie conquered her fear of all of my mom's inflatable Christmas animatronics, and we opened gifts.
Naturally Sophie is obsessed with Cocomelon anything, and she also got a cute blue leopard-print dress, a pastry tea-time set and a mint green macaroon ornament.
Despite waking her up early from her nap to get out to Gangy's, and despite all the flurry of activity, and despite the warm dark car and Cocomelon lullabies on being way past her bedtime on the drive home, she didn't fall asleep until about 5 minutes before we got home, which meant we were subjugated to Cocomelon for the whole hour and a half drive. At what age is it appropriate to give your kids ZzzQuil? (LOL jk).
This morning she was in such a good mood and was even reading her current favorite story (Good Morning Toucan) to her new Cocomelon figurines.
Happy Sunday y'all. One week til Christmas!
