getting ready for the big guy

my sister, being the good mommy that she is made sugar cookies from scratch on christmas eve so santa would leave some presents...i doubt he would have appreciated the break and bake that he would have gotten at our house otherwise! we got there just in time for the cookie making to begin! as you can see, mm was very excited!

here is sweet maggie. she is so funny. i love her imagination. she is bound to be a writer with all of her stories!
bug even got into the action with gran's help.

as you can see he was pretty impressed with himself...but typical grady...he only lasted making cookies for about 1.2 seconds, then he was off again!

mm got carried away with the sprinkles...i bet santa really liked this one!

then it was on to the reindeer food...i was responsible for this one...i know that we have to take care of the little guys since they have to lug the jolly old man all around the world in one night with little thanks! leave it to me to provide the messiest activity!

of course, maggie was unsure that the reindeer would like the birdseed...she is too smart!

the finished product!
