Who wants to make cookies for Santa???
We started to get the boys ready for bed by having them help to make the cookies for Santa. This is something that daddy has wanted to do for a long time and was very excited about. Aunt H and Mommy were in charge of making sure that the boys added the proper amounts of each ingredient. The whole family had a great time pitching in.
Monkey provides a little quality control You have to try a couple just to make sure that you've followed the recipe correctly. I think that everyone helped out with quality control, even Big C. There was a whole round of handwashing and facewashing to make sure that the house didn't get coated in chocolate.
The final project is complete and left out for Santa
A small plate was assembled and left out for Jolly St. Nick. Monkey and Big C were both off to bed on time so that they could get some sleep for Christmas Day. Monkey was out within half an hour or so, eager to make sure that he followed the poem from school that outlined' Santa only comes when little boys and girls are sleeping'. Thanks JK teacher!
Monkey was absolutely overjoyed the next morning and came out of the kitchen screaming 'Santa was here. I know. He ate all the cookies and drank the milk!!'. That was really heartwarming.
Early Christmas morning, 7 am which isn't too early by our standards, Monkey was up alongside Big C checking out the really big garage and helping grandpa with items under the tree.
He was even in there distributing the gifts and helping people to unwrap them. Monkey was really into Christmas this year and had a very exciting day. We all know that he'll sleep very well tonight.
