buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?

it's christmas eve eve!! we're so close, people! have i ever told you how much i love christmas? and the christmas season? well. i love it a lot.

1. happy people at the bakery
today i was on register at the bakery. it was so fun to see people festive for the holidays, so happy to be getting some yummies. there was one little old man in particular that just makes me smile every time i think about him. all he wanted was a chocolate chunk cookie and he was wearing a santa hat. he was so smiley and happy to be getting that cookie that i couldn't help but smile too. after that, i started saying, "happy holidays!" to everyone in the bakery. it made me feel happy inside every time i said it.

2. my sandwich time
so today after i got off work, i sat in the car for about 10 minutes, in silence, and ate my turkey sandwich from the bakery. i was quite content to sit and eat after having been on my feet for 8 hours.

3. nap time
when i got home from the bakery, i decided it was nap time. in a big way. i have not napped that hard in a loooong time, and let me tell you, it felt good. i intended to sleep for an hour...but it ended up being two. oops. i physically could not get myself up. buuuuut i don't really regret it at all. it was quite nice.

4. christmas shopping with walker
walker and i are geniuses. that's about all i can say, because i don't know who will be reading this post, but he and i are really good at coming up with ideas for presents and then finding them.

5. family night!
tonight, my family and i sat in front of the fire, eating pie and ice cream, watching elf, and popping bubble wrap. we're just cool like that. i haven't seen elf in waaaaayyyy too long. just about everything that comes out of buddy's mouth is awesome. it's silly, but i love this movie way too much. i took some still shots of some of the good parts. well, not all the good parts. just during the beginning, because then i started eating ice cream, and then i got bundled up in blankets, so i didn't take any more during the rest of the movie. i guess this is silly. but it's all good.

the code of the elves. the best way to spread christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

"bye, buddy! i hope you find your dad!"

i'm so excited for tomorrow! i'll be at the bakery from 6:30-2:30, so if you happen to be in yountville, stop on by. there's lots of good stuff waiting to be eaten! once i get home from work, the fam is heading to santa rosa to go to grandma coco's house to see the cook family and grandma. it's going to be a regular party!

merry christmas!! :)
