Athena made frosted sugar cookies for Santa on Christmas eve, it was well ...... lets just say interesting and messy :) We had a wonderful snowy Christmas Day. Athena was very excited and loved all her presents. Tonight she kept asking about opening more presents. We told her there were no more because we had already opened them. She didn't believe us and kept asking if we had hid them or thrown them in the garbage, and she was serious. 'It was pretty funny.'
