Christmas eve is finally here! 32 days of counting down really made the anticipation for this day very exciting for Courtney! I'm not sure if I can do 32 next year...maybe 25. We'll see after a year's break.
Today we made elf donuts and cookies for Santa and his elves. We also sprinkled reindeer food on the front year! Courtney had fun making the donuts. I made a simple icing of powdered sugar and water and then we speared Cheerios with toothpicks and then dipped them in icing and sprinkles. I have saved paper clip boxes since August (the beginning of school) for this project! They were the perfect size for teensy donuts!

| Sprinkling reindeer food on the lawn. She is VERY concerned they won't be able to see it. We came with all kinds of things to tell her including that Rudolph's nose would make it bright enough to see. She replied that Rudolph wasn't real!! I'm not sue why that came out of her mouth, but maybe just because an animal with a light up nose isn't real Santa is a person. He can be real. Hopefully that is how it will be for many more years. |
