this was the letter elise wrote to santa. get ready for some serious guilt tripping....
december 24,2009
dear santa,
i hope you come to my house. you probably won't because me and my sister have been bad this year. i know you would think i would lie about it. well, i'm not that much of a lier anymore. please write back.
love,
elise
p.s. if you don't give me any presents, i understand why.
yeah, yeah, yeah. good one elise. i think she secretly knows that it's the mister and i who are santa and she's just trying to make us feel bad. yeah, well whatever. she got presents anyway.
MOVING ON TO MICHELLE
i know some of you have already heard this, but i'm posting it here for journal purposes...
michelle's quotes for today:
one: while we were watching t.v. a proactive commercial came on. she turned to me and very seriously said "you need to use that." gee, thanks.
two: "i'm never going to have a baby. i want to stay a little girl FOREVER!" when i asked her why she said "because NOTHING should EVER come out of your crotch except for pee."
i love that kid....now on to the yummies. i realized this afternoon that i haven't left my house in three days. THREE. that makes me happy and pathetic all rolled into one.
cranberry/white chocolate scones (inspired by the BGW)
different recipe for vanilla bean scones
and of course the aforementioned cookies...
i always forget just how much i love to cook and bake until i have the time to get in the kitchen and start messing around with things. it's been a nice three days of not going anywhere and mulling around. too bad that the daily grind starts back tomorrow. bring it on. i need to start burning off all these calories i've consumed these past three days anyway....
