Too many Elves in the Kitchen

Looks like Thomas is at it again.  He must have over heard the kids and I discussing that Grandma Wolsing would be coming to our house to make Christmas Cookies.  

He was prepared with the mixer, a bowl, and his very own apron. Last year St. Nick brought us all aprons to use on our cookie making weekend and I guess Thomas didn't want to be left out. I wonder if Thomas is going to surprise us with some of Mrs Claus' favorite recipes. 

This is where we found Thomas the day after our Christmas goodie making day. Seems he hadn't had enough and wNted to play around with one if his favorite things-sprinkles. He even left us a litte note. It was a reminder that Christmas is only 10 days away. 

It is a great reminder to help us get ready for that special day and prepare our hearts for Jesus' birth. We all get busy with the hustle and bustle of the season so Thomas' reminder was taken to heart. 

Not only do we need to prepare for Jesus, it's a great time to slow down and enjoy the special times we share with family and friends. This season tends to blow right bye us and Thomas was our little reminder to take a deep breath, slow down, and enjoy. Everything doesn't have to be perfect when we are surrounded by our loved ones. 

Here's to enjoying every minute of this holiday season with family & friends.
