During December I had decided to try out the “Santa is watching so you need to be good or else…..” incentive/discipline. I tried it out on Taylee first. She was throwing a fit about something…probably that she didn’t like how I did her hair or some such nonsense. Me: “Taylee, Santa is watching so you need to be good or you’ll get put on the naughty list.” Taylee: “No Mom, not Santa, Jesus is watching.” My priorities were properly realigned, but Taylee still got to sit on the naughty chair for the fit.
We got to spend Christmas with Nana and Papa and my kids were so excited. They came over the night before and kept with tradition by giving everyone new Nana PJ’s. My kids have the most fun with their cousins, so the presents were just added bonuses. The best treat though was that Nana and Papa came over on Christmas morning and watched them open presents. We are always spoiled by Nana and Papa with good cooking, games and movies. Did I mention good cooking? My favorite gift was the homemade salsa that my Mother-in-Law cans – she brought a full case this time….YUM!
