On Christmas Eve, we hosted the McConnell Christmas party. Everyone came over around 1pm for lunch and of course, Lofton's favorite- presents. Before everyone arrived, Lofton was exhausted and in need of a nap, but as soon as Grandfather came in, and Lofton realized the fun in store,and he got his second wind. In fact, he got a third and fourth too, because I couldn't hardly get him to bed. (If I did not play the Santa card, I don't know when he would've wound down.) But, back to the party... it was crazy but fun. We can't even imagine what next year holds for us; all five cousins will be walking around! This year, Maggie Leigh and Lofton were the only two walking around, and they had fun; Lofton especially loved knocking sleeping Grandfather's hat off of his head and hiding and leaving Maggie to stand there looking guilty. However, Maggie never got caught, Grandfather did not even know what was going on, and he did not know until I told him the next day. It was a whirlwind for him and everyone else.
After most everyone left, Lofton made cookies for Santa. He had so much fun licking the rolling pin and eating dough. After the baking was done, we put out reindeer dust for Rudolph, and then we slowly started winding down for bed. I had to read about six books and tell him a couple of stories, but he finally fell asleep in anticipation that Santa would come soon.
