We spent the afternoon making Christmas cookies. Well, there goes my diet...but it sure is worth it. I am really grateful that we got to share this tradition with Duchene. He seemed to be having a good time. This was also the first year that my dad got to be home while we were making the cookies. It made it that much more special.
Later that night, it was time to go out for their birthday dinner. We have a tradition where the birthday girl (or girls) get to choose the place for dinner, keeping it a secret from the rest of the kids. Then everyone has to close their eyes on the way to dinner. The car ride is full of guesses and sometimes complaining that it's pointless to close eyes because we all know where we are know...but that rarely happens. ;) We got to Stonefire Pizza only to find that it was closed for the night. Fortunately, Anna and Emma had a backup. On to Dave & Busters we went.
When we got home, we did the ol' cake and ice cream, then presents. I know that they're growing up because my parents got them Nintendo DS's. Scary! Usually the birthday kid gets to choose a movie to watch, but seeing as how it was already midnight when we were done, we decided to wait on that. I'm pretty sure they want to watch the first Narnia. They're hooked after seeing Dawn Treader.
