Making cookies for Santa!

 

Pajama, stuffy, movie and field trip day... oh my!

Do you ever have those heart stopping moments???

Imagine me... home alone with Harper and Piper (the two worst guard dogs around) and

the doorbell rings....

Who could it be?  I'm not expecting anyone or any packages...  I walk to the door... I look through the glass, and it a police officer.  My heart start beating just a little faster.  Why is there a cop at my house? Oh gosh, is Chris okay?  He has to be, I just got off the phone with him about 15 minutes ago.  There is NO way that something could happen to him and have a police officer at my door in 15 minutes... Lucy and Ava?  I just left their school about 20 minutes ago... It couldn't be them.  Maddie?  Oh gosh, Maddie!!!!  My heart beats a little faster as I unlock the door.

I put a forcedsmile on my face, (looked a little shocked to see a police officer at my door), and said, "Oh, hello.  Can I help you with something?"

The officer asks me, "Do you have a daughter by the name of Madeline?" 

"Yes..."  I am about to cry... This officer is about to change my life!  "Is everything Okay?"

Do you have an "Ava and  a Lucy too?" 

"Yes, are they okay?" 

"Yes, they are fine. (BIG SIGH OF RELIEF HERE!)  They sent a letter to Santa at the North Pole, and I am here to deliver them a letter from Santa!  Are they here?" 

I spoke with the officer for a while longer about the letter he was delivering from Santa.  I don't think I was thinking clearly though, I was still scared inside that something had happened to my children!  I am so thankful that they are okay.  However, what a great community!!!  Police officers delivering letters from Santa!!!  Wow.... I am speechless... 

Having fun in the snow on Mt. Ashland summit!

 Watch this progression of pictures as Chris slides down the hill!  The snow wasn't very deep and we had slid down this hill several times already... oh, ow, wow... Darn those rocks! LOL

Lucy and Ava's sweet Christmas concert!
