We spent the day hanging out at home, trying to keep the kids busy. More than once, I thought maybe we should open a few presents early so they would have something to do while stuck inside. We stuck it out though and waited until Christmas. :)
One of our big projects of the day was to mix up some reindeer food (Oatmeal, flour and sprinkles!) so that Santa's reindeer would have a snack while he was inside delivering presents.
After mixing, Addison and Fischer each took a turn sprinkling their food over the railing. Those reindeer must have been hungry because it was gone the next morning!
The kids also had a great time playing in Lucy's crate, while she sat up on the bed and watched... :)
That night, we were sure to put out milk and cookies for Santa! The kids each picked a type of cookie (from the ones I baked the day before) and we were sure to leave out some soy milk from Addison along with Fischer's regular milk...you know, incase Santa has any lactose intolerance issues. :)
Finally, it was off to bed! We read Twas the Night Before Christmas in Fischer's bed, then it was time to go to sleep. Despite being pretty hyped up, the kids went to sleep quickly!
In that last picture, they are doing "snow angels" on the carpet. :)
Santa's elves got to work once "they" were sure the kids were fast asleep! Since Fischer had started coming out of his room at night just the week before Christmas, we had to set up an alarm so that we could hear if he started creeping into the living room! :)
The excitement this year was so fun, and I couldn't wait to get up on Christmas morning!
