Very proudly fixed Santa a cup of milk and chose 3 cookies.
This year, thankfully, was no different from previous years.  We started out by eating at Jerry J's, its a Saturday afterall.  Next, we frosted our cookies (we made them yesterday).  We baked a green cake (from scratch), made frosting (home made), and Mallory decorated it with two packs of candy.
Daniel and Mallory took some treats to a friend's house and then we got ready to attend our Christmas Eve party with Daniel's family.  More pictures to come.
Once home, Mallory quickly changed into her new pajamas, prepared Santa's snack, and posed for a few pictures.
Now off to bed because tomorrow will start early and be full of fun, family, and eating.

  1. You made cut-out cookies twice? I seriously bow to your greatness. :)
