First, we had to make Santa his favorite peanut butter cookies...
Next, came throwing the Reindeer food on the lawn so Santa & the reindeer knew exactly where to land. The reindeer really enjoyed their food per Santa's letter that he left.
Braxton is working hard on Santa's letter that he had to leave with his cookies & milk. Brax drew Santa's sleigh, a Christmas tree, reindeer and even wrote him a little note with lots of swirls & lines. Daddy helped Brax with some of the more complicated pictures, they both did a great job and I know Santa really liked the letter.
Here is the finished product of P-butter cookies & milk. This was Brax & I's project for the night. He helped make & place the cookies on the plate. He even pored Santa's milk in a special Santa coffee mug.
We have decided to make all of these activities a tradition at our house, we started them last year and enjoyed it so much that we plan to do them for years to come. We finish out the night by gathering together in Braxton's room and dad reads Twas Night Before Christmas along with the The Christmas Story from the Bible. We really want Brax to know what Christmas is all about and we feel that these are good ways to teach him that family & love are far more important than presents. We also teach him that Jesus was the ultimate gift that God gave us. We thank God for the birth of his beautiful Son that did and continues to do so much for us each & everyday of our lives.
