Setting the stage for Santa

Emily had a good time helping me get everything set for Santa's visit. Here she putting carrots in a bowl for the reindeer.
Setting out some cookies. (She picked some of her favorites!!)
and then of course, pouring Santa some milk. She was so surprised to find the following morning that Santa and the reindeer had taken full advantage of the treats that she set out for them.

More bath photos...

Here are some more photos of Em in the bath being goofy. I was telling her not to smile and ended up getting some real genuine smiles out of her. Here are some of my favorites. :-)

Getting ready for Santa

Ok, we are dorks. :-) We had to try on our Christmas clothes a little early because mom wanted a photo of the kids standing by the tree. Notice that I had to provide cookies to each of them to get them to stand in one place for longer than 3 seconds?

Silly kids in the bath

Here are my silly kiddos in the tub. We were making Santa beards and they both kept looking at each other and laughing. It was so cute!We are so funny!!
My sister has a cup on her head and a Santa beard, she is so silly!!!
