Over Christmas break Grandma baked a lot of Christmas cookies and invited the girls down to decorate them. We took a few of our cousins with us and I am glad we did because Grandma made lots and lots of cookies. Maddie probably decorated the most cookies. We assumed she would loose interest and wander off but she really got in to it and had a great time. Towards the end Grandma and I had to frost them all and the just had to put the candies on....they were done. After all the cookies were decorated and a few were eaten, Grandma took us all to Arctic Circle for lunch. We had a really good time and best of all I didn't have to do any baking. Thanks mom. The only bad part about the day was leaving. I was pulling out of the drive way and trying not to hit my Dad's truck. I had five sugar buzzed kids being crazy in the car and as I was backing up I heard a bang. I said "please tell me that was a garbage can." my nephew said "nope, that was a car!!!" Crap!!! Luckily it was the neighbors, she was out delivering her Christmas treats to the neighbors and was parked half in the driveway half in the street and I didn't see her car. She was very sweet about the whole thing. She came out to look at the damage on the trunk and claimed she really couldn't see anything. She told me not to worry about it since the car was 15 years old and had been hit before. I told her she knew where to find me if she changed her mind. She wished us all a Merry Christmas and made me promise i wouldn't feel bad. I could have cried I felt so horrible. I called Jai on the way home to tell him what had happened and had to repeat myself several times before the "I hit a car" sunk in. I am no longer "allowed" to back up in my parents driveway because this is not the first accident I have had there. WHOOPS!
