• I began my day in the kitchen and that is where I ended my day too-well, actually, I'm on the couch right now, but I was just in the kitchen so that counts. Last night my sourdough starter looked pretty good, so I made some cinnamon roll dough. 
• This morning I rolled the rolls out, and when I pulled them out of the oven, I was surprised at how pretty they looked. I feel like I don't really have too many successes in the kitchen, but my cinnamon rolls today were definitely one of those.
• Robby and I sat and ate some cinnamon rolls before he left to run some errands. Then Graham was the next one awake this morning. It was a fairly slow morning, but this afternoon was fun. Robby figured out how Graham could watch the football game, and while they were working on that Graham looked outside and saw Santa Claus. He was quick to screech, "who's that?"
• The rest of us knew that it was Campbell since I had spent 15 minutes getting her into the Santa suit that Keaton bought off of the internet. After Campbell had shown us, she went outside to walk around which is when Graham looked out and saw her.
• Whitman was just as surprised to see her bust in the bonus room where he was. He thought that it was Robby dressed as Santa. 
• Keaton babysat at 3 so Robby took her, and the Campbell babysat at 6 so I took her. We both stayed out until it was time for Keaton to be picked up. Robby and I ate and then ran some errands while we waited on the girls.
• When Keaton and I did come home, I made some scones to put in the fridge for Campbell and Keaton's Sunday school classes. Now, we are just waiting on Campbell's babysitting folks to come home so Robby can bring her home, and then all my people will be in for the night.
