White Christmas?

James had to work tonight due to the bad weather we are having so I took advantage of this and we finally wrapped and put the first presents under the tree. Very Exciting... The kids were besides themselves with excitement it was so neat. I'm actually not sure just how Christmas is going to work out this year. Hopefully the weather will start cooperating better pretty soon. James is on call all week and not only is he on call he is first out. So we are trying to create a plan B if the weather does not help with the clearing of the roads. On another note I am hoping that we get a white Christmas. The last time it snowed CJ was very curious after it melted as to when it was going to snow again, it went something like this.

CJ: mom when is it going to snow again
mom: I'm not sure we will just have to wait and see
CJ: well I know it will snow on Christmas because it always snows on Christmas

Well needless to say I didn't have the heart to tell him that only happens in the movies. I may have mentioned this snow story previously , I couldn't remember but it was so cute I had to mention it again. I love this age where there curiosity and interests help them come up with the silliest things. Tonight the kids each made their dad a Christmas card. Nikki was very expressive in her card and wrote her dad a cute poem. and CJ wanted to thank his dad for a certain thing. (I will say more later it's a surprise). Anyways after I wrote the first thing CJ wanted to say I asked him if he wanted to say anything else and his response was how bout dad poops allot. After trying not to laugh I explained that I realize he was being silly and it probably was not a good thing to put in a Christmas card. (Or on the other hand maybe I will call Hallmark. lol:)
Well on a not so Christmas note Nikki has lost yet another tooth!! That girl is not going to have any teeth left. She has now lost her front 6 upper teeth and 4 front bottom teeth. I told her she would have to wish for her 10 front teeth so she could whistle Merry Christmas. She then proceeded to whistle Merry Christmas. Smarty Pants!! That girl whistles non stop, it drives us crazy. Not that she whistles badly because she can whistle any tune she hears, she just is always whistling. I don't think most of the time she even realizes it. What crazy kids I have they sure keep us entertained anyways. Tomorrow we will be baking chocolate chip cookies for Santa since Nikki has informed me they are Santa's favorite and CJ don't care as long as he can put sprinkles on them. Not sure how that would taste. I told them that CJ could make his cookies for Santa and Nikki could make her cookies for Santa to take to Mrs. Clause. They thought this was a really cool idea. Now we just have to inform Santa. I wonder what he will think of that idea?
