A Merry Little Christmas

Santa comes a night early to our house so we were busy little workers on the eve of Christmas Eve getting cookies for Santa ready.

Layla loved decorating (and eating) cookies this year.

Layla also wanted to leave carrots for the reindeer this year. Ryan and Layla went on a specific run to the store for "big carrots" because Layla said "big carrots make reindeer happy." I think Layla may like the big ones too.

Taste testing to make sure the cookies were okay for Santa :)

Here are the goodies for Santa and his reindeer. Shortly thereafter, it was time for Layla to go to sleep. She declared, "Me no sleep, me see Santa!" She was asleep about five minutes later :)

Here is Layla's reaction upon viewing what Santa left for her....pretty shocked!

Shock turned to excitement when she unwrapped her very own

baby nursery (she likes to use the bathtub as a sink)!!

The snow was coming down hard after present opening....

so Ryan, Layla, Howie and Layla's baby went sledding.

And that was just Christmas Eve morning.

Stay tuned for many more Christmas posts. It was a very fun and busy few days!!
