Cole Turns 3, and other Updates

Cole turned three last week! My tiny little baby, THREE YEARS OLD?! I don't really believe it either. Anyway, it was a fun, simple day. We woke up and he opened gifts. We stayed in our PJ's all day. I had been stressing over what kind of cake to make him, even though I knew no one cared and only a small handful of people would see it. Then, an hour before leaving for Chuck E. Cheese it hit me. Let COLE decorate the cake. Brilliant. Yes, I'm acknowledging that my idea was genius. I made a simple box cake earlier that day, and but separated the batter out to make it a rainbow cake. I asked Cole what color of cake he wanted, and his immediate response was, "blue". I quickly turned my store-bought white frosting blue, frosted the sucker, and let cole have at it (with supervision). I just gave him a bunch of mini M&M's and it was done! He loved it, I loved it, and everyone was happy.

In other news, as I sit here typing in my housecoat, I'd like to inform you that we've spent most of the holiday season in our pajamas, only changing into presentable clothing to venture out in the cold a couple times a week. I'm not complaining. We have made endless amounts of goodies, eating about 80% of the finished products ourselves. Cole is really into giant sugar cookies lately. I like to just freeze the dough for when he has another one of his cookie decorating frenzies. Then, when he's ready, I just cut out shapes, pop it in the oven, and let him do his thing with the frosting.

That's about all the updating I have for our "thrilling" lives!

I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
