Ready for Santa!

 Mimi and Pops came to stay with us on Monday and we spent Christmas Eve getting ready for Santa.  We made sugar cookies, picked carrots from the garden for Rudolf, had a nice fire in the outside fireplace (Griff was very worried about Santa burning his pants, and scattered oats for the reindeer.  We also went to church to celebrate Baby Jesus, the real reason for celebrating!  I loved how into the Christmas story my kids were this year, between school, church, and home they really got it.  It makes me sad to send Griffin to public school next year :(.  Anyways, it was a great day and by bedtime, we were all ready for Santa!

 I was pretty proud of our carrots this year!  They were delicious and Pops made sure the reindeer didn't waste them ;)

 Mimi read the Night Before Christmas

 Nothing sweeter than two sleeping babes waiting on Santa!
