Preparing for Santa

After a late night at Mike and Nancy's we still had to make all the preparations for Santa's arrival.

Charlie made special reindeer food in her pre-school class that she was instructed to put out on the lawn to guide Rudolph to our house and fill up his tummy for the long night ahead!


Here is the note attached to the reindeer food.

Charlie really thought long and hard about where the best place was to put the reindeer food.


Ryan decided that under the tree was the best spot.



Next, we had to put cookies , milk, and our lists for Santa by the fireplace.

By this time, it was hours past their bedtime... don't they look exhausted???


Finally, it was time for the annual reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"
Nonna was the lucky reader this year.

Grandpa was the lucky "disciplinarian" when Charlie wasn't quite sure she wanted to behave anymore! LOL.
