Day 24: Make cookies for Santa! You can tell by the blur of Haze's hands that he was totally in to making sprinkle piles on each cookie. Andlie was more in to picking the right colors for the right shape & making sure they didn't have excess frosting or sprinkles. Nora was mostly in to eating the cookies before they got frosted.
Andlie & Hazey spent a lot of their day checking the Santa App on Daddy's phone and the computer to see where Santa was. It was really cute. If we couldn't find them through the day, chances were that they were downstairs staring at the computer screen while singing Christmas songs and getting excited with each other.
For dinner, I made a delicious ham dinner.
This is how Andlie & Haze felt about it. (Andlie eventually tried some ham. And liked it.)
Something pretty neat happened after dinner! Andlie bit on a roll & started crying because her loose tooth hurt. Guess what happened next? Daddy pulled her tooth out!! She was so excited that Santa AND the Tooth Fairy were coming on the same night!
After we all calmed ourselves down after Andlie lost her tooth, we opened Christmas jammies!
(Also Day 24:) And then we read the Christmas story from Luke 2 and watched a short Nativity clip on the TV (while Nora somehow managed to get stuck in the box of Christmas books). Next we went for a little ride to look at lights and then to bed! Andlie was pretty adamant that we get right in bed when we got home so that Santa could come!
It was a wonderful Christmas Eve full of fun, happiness, and excitement! We could definitely feel the special spirit of Christmas in our home today. We are truly blessed.
