Christmas with Godzilla

Here's a sneak peek at our upcoming Christmas card that goes out to select folks who tend to appreciate a Godzilla-themed Christmas card moreso than others. Once we deal with printer issues, we should have these in the mail tomorrow - just in time, really.

Today we've mailed the rest of the cards out, so that's done with just in time as well. Speaking of "last minute," Daddy and Madison did some shopping for Mommy today and had some success. It was fun having Madison along for some shopping - she even picked out a few items for Mommy along the way!

MADISON'S BOOK CLUB

As of late, we've been reading by Madison's Christmas tree - and reading Christmas stories. Obviously, there is the true Christmas story, about which we have a few children's books. "A Night the Stars Danced for Joy" springs to mind as a great book we've featured before with Madison's Book Club. We have plenty of other Christmas books we've picked up along the way, even one written by Stan Lee. One book that Madison has enjoyed for two years is "A Pirate's Night Before Christmas." Daddy likes this one too, and is required to read it with a pirate voice. This version has a pirate ship waiting for Sir Peggedy, complete with a hook and peg leg. It's a great book with fun artwork. Madison asks to have it read over and over again, which I happily oblige. Arrr!

Tonight, we made Christmas cookies. Mommy picked up some sugar cookies from the grocery store, and we decorated them with peppermint sprinkles, green and red crystals and so forth. We plugged in a copy of a "Miser Brother's Christmas," and attacked the cookies with our sprinkles!
