Putting the cookies and milk and carrots by the fireplace for Santa and the Reindeer


Happy Christmas Eve Everyone and Happy Birthday to my Dad! :)

We had a fun filled day today. I ran to the store bright and early to pick up a few last minute things (and take a couple things back) then when I got home the fun began. We cleaned the house, we made sugar cookies, Mark and Makenna sprinkled the Reindeer food in the yard (which Mark directed them to start at the street and lead up the grass to our house so they would know where to go), then we made a 7 layers taco dip, we watched the Steelers game, took naps, then took showers, got ready for Church, went to Craig and Judy's to drop food off and make a Rum Punch, then stopped at Aunt Jamie's to see her, Ryan, and Grandma and Grandpa Gannon, then to Church, then back to Craig and Judy's for the Christmas Eve gathering, then home to put out milk and cookies and milk and carrots for the reindeer, then FINALLY bed. WHEW! What a day! They loved making and decorating cookies. That was probably the highlight of my day at least. Well...that and the nap! They have never gone to bed so good before though. I wish every night was Christmas Eve night. :)
