Preparing for Santa

Now that Addisyn is older, we thought this year was perfect to bring out some traditions we enjoyed growing up. One of the old fav's is making cookies for Santa. Addisyn loved every part of baking! She helped break the eggs (which we had to get from the neighbors!), stir the batter, roll the cookies, and decorate with icing and sprinkles.






Of course, what's baking without sampling? When I took the second batch out of the oven, I turned to find this...


The final product


We placed our cookies, milk and carrots ever so carefully on a small table by the door christmas eve and hoped the big man in red would make an appearance!



The look on her face christmas morning when she came down the stairs and realized the treats were gone was priceless! Brad thought he was recording her as she came downstairs, but turns out he never turned it on! So all we have is this pic of her!

Holiday traditions are so much more fun now that the little ones are here to share them with!
