Christmas #1

The Christmas season was sort of busy this year. We decided that this would be the year we traveled to Jason's family in Michigan for the holidays. So we had our own family Christmas at home on the morning of 12/21. We still wanted the kids to know that Santa came to our house first.

On our "Christmas Eve" we went outside to sprinkle reindeer dust...or was it reindeer food? I can't remember. It was some kind of sparkly oatmeal concoction they brought home from school.

 Then we did a plate of milk and cookies. The kids had written notes to Santa at school. I couldn't find the third one for this picture but of course found it days later.

 

Then once the kids were finally asleep we brought the presents upstairs.

 Mojo found his catnip-filled present.

Of course Zoey woke up first on Christmas morning, so we let her open her stocking. 

Had to keep her busy somehow.

 

 

Then finally the other two got up and we got to open the stocking and more presents.

Showing the presents to his giraffe.

Yes Santa brought them masking tape. They love it.

And Mojo finally got to open his catnip toys.
