On Christmas Eve our cousins came over and we had lots of fun. Here the kids are making cookies for Santa. Christopher and John have little experience with homemade cookies. They took "line them up on the pan" literally!
We welcomed the kids into the sister tradition of new pajamas on various occasions. They got to open their new pajamas on Christmas Eve, so they could wear them that night and spend the next day in them. Hurray to Jenny for finding the crown jewel of our search: gender-neutral pajamas in size 5T, 4T, 3T and 12 mo. Not an easy task on the day before Christmas. We love Target!
Here are the stockings hung by the chimney (gas log) with care. These are the Penna stockings, and I let Ada borrow my Vixen one, the reindeer with the pink tutu. You can see the cookies and milk for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer.
Writing notes to Santa.
Here is John putting his note on the stocking, facing the chimney so that Santa could see it right when he came down the chimney.
Santa came through. John and Keats-Baby checking the full stockings!
