Preparing for Santa

On Christmas Eve it's kind of like a baking fest at our house with the Jesus cake and cookies for Santa. The kids had already decorated some at our friends, but they wanted to do more. We put the cookies, and our elves on the fireplace for Santa to get with a mug of sweet tea ( we know by the time Santa gets to our house he's tired of milk) aka Jeff hates milk. The adorable aprons were a gift from the Pelfrey's. The kids loved them and I know we will be able to use them for years (thanks Pelfrey's). After we read the story of Jesus and put out our cookies for Santa we went outside and threw our reindeer food on the roof. I tried to get Emma to put it on the grass and her response to that was,"mom, if we put it on the ground the reindeer will pull the sleigh off of the roof trying to get the food." Oops! I wasn't thinking through the details!!
