The snow is falling
Big, cottony flakes glide down
Covering the ground
Covering the ground
*********
Children are singing
And ringing their jingle bells
And ringing their jingle bells
Their smiles shine so bright
*********
The air is so warm and sweet
Can't wait for a bite
*********
Only four days left
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
The best time of year

This morning while Joey was at school singing Christmas songs and making Gingerbread houses Tommy, Ben, and I had a little fun of our own. We put on some Christmas music and made chocolate chip cookies. Tommy kept saying that they were for Santa, but I think we all know that there is NO WAY there will be any of these cookies left by Christmas Eve. 
My little baker.
It is so hard to wait for those doggone cookies!
After the cookies were done we had to sample a few and then rush off to watch Joey in his Christmas program. It was Joey's first Christmas program and he was uncharacteristically shy. Usually he is the loudest singer, the most animated, and the smiliest boy in the room. Maybe it was the pound of frosting, 1000 gumdrops, and 200 Twislers he ate while making his gingerbread house. Either way, it was fun to watch. 
Look at the hands in the pockets. hehe
He DID like ringing the jingle bells.
The masterpiece.
Tommy is SOOO ready for school. We had to pry him out of the chair.
This weekend will be full of errands to run, presents to wrap (at the last minute again, I'm sure), and visits with friends. It will be fun, hectic, crazy, exciting, and too much. And it will all go by too fast.

The photo of your little guy waiting in front of the oven for the cookies is so precious. I'm so glad I found your blog (through Kellan) it's wonderful. Merry Christmas.
look at those big eyes!!
and take it from a preschool music teacher - they ALL love the instruments. :)
Great Haiku, Kathryn - and I just loved all the adorable pictures of the cookie making and school pics. Hope you all have a great weekend. Kellan
Just stopping by for another visit. The haiku is delightful, as are the images and narrative. Your family is full of talent!
