This Sunday, Aidan was in our church's Christmas pageant!!! He was awesome, and it was amazing to watch him be part of it! I remember being part of the pageants as a kid, and it feels surreal to now be on the parent side of things. Kiana is a little too unpredictable to be part of the pageant, but she did a great job cheering Aidan on! Aidan was one of the shepherds, and got to wear a yellow head scarf (his favorite color!). He did an amazing job signing Christmas carols, sitting quietly when needed, and (the best part), running two full loops around the audience on cue with the rest of the shepherds, saying, "a child is born! A child is born! A child is born!" It was wonderful!!!!
This week Daddy made more gingerbread dough and Aidan and his friend Derek made more gingerbread cookies. Then, this weekend, Daddy made "fingerprint" cookies rolled in pecan powder with jelly/jam centers (guava/liliquoi/raspberry/apricot), which were DELICIOUS. And Nana / Grandma Ross sent us a *box* of pecan cookies, which were OUTRAGEOUS. The holidays are definitely in full swing with all of the treats going on here!
My favorite thing Kiana is doing this week is blowing kisses. She has been doing it for a while, but she is so INTO it - I love it! If you ask her for hugs and kisses she will run straight up to you and give you some so sweetly, and when she goes on sleepy walks with Daddy, she always has to blow kisses to me and Aidan before she goes. (I give them and blow more to her back, and then laugh and get excited when I pretend to catch hers. She loves it too.)
We are all looking forward to Christmas! Aidan has been counting down for a while now, and we are almost there! :)
