It has become our tradition to make sugar cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve and I had two enthusiastic helpers this year.
We had to test some, of course:
We got the stamp of approval from Korrali:
And the reindeer were not forgotten. "How many reindeer are there?" Ali asked. Notice the nine carrots, one for each. It was fun to have a fireplace for Santa this year.
We always go to Jason's Parents' house for dinner on Christmas Eve, and this year they were gracious enough to host not only our family of five, but my parents, my brother Jesse, and my brother JD along with his wife Lianna and daughter Korrali. "We want to see them too!" was Tina's protest when I suggested that we five would come over and my family would do something else. It really was fun to have them all together. Mine and Jason's families are some of my favorite people in the world, and I love that they love each other too.
Christmas Eve was an epic sleep-over: we were lucky enough to have my parents, two of my brothers and a sister-in-law, a niece, and a dog all sleep over. That's four kids, seven adults, and one dog. It was so much fun! And so nice that with our basement it didn't even feel cramped. We could have fit a few more people, I think, so anyone is welcome next year!
