Getting ready for Christmas

Since Steven has been so busy, Emma and I have been finishing getting ready for Christmas...making pfeffernusse, and wrapping presents. The pfeffernusse is extra good this year, probably because of my sweet helper. :) she had fun...and some of your pfeffernusse might be misshapen, but it was made with love. She also enjoyed helping me wrap presents...her job was to pick out and stick on the to/from stickers. She may have also gotten distracted by some shiny ribbon. After lunch we went to the dollar store so Emma could pick out presents for our family. I hated to explain that our family is in Kansas and we were mailing the presents...they weren't coming to our house to get them. But she is 3...she took my explanation and was distracted by all the 'Christmas guy' stuff in the store. 

She like these Christmas guy hats

I had to re-roll two of these, but it wasn't so bad.

Looking out the window for daddy...this girl sure does miss her daddy...especially when I do something she doesn't like.
