Prepping for Santa's Visit

We had so much fun this year prepping for Santa's visit! I will give fair warning now...this post is full of pictures :)


We waited until Christmas Eve to make cookies...just in time for Santa!




We waited until after Emma's nap to decorate the cookies...hence the naked child :)

We also decided to do a tour of lights on Christmas Eve. It was a rainy, COLD night, but Emma still loved looking at the lights and pointing out all the things that we should do to our house. Just liked the way it turned out! This street has lights draped over the streed and most houses are pretty festively decorated. Always a fun treat during Christmas!




Our view from our rain dropped windows.


After we got home, it was time to put on the Christmas jammies and get ready for bed. Such an exciting night!!!

Getting the cookies and milk ready for the Big Guy!


Travis and I set out her Santa requests...a bike and a teddy bear. Our Santa gifts stay unwrapped...thank goodness!!!


Looks like Santa is enjoying his cookies and milk!!! :)


Since it was rainy, we decided to put muddy footprints by the fireplace this year. Trav had a great time walking out in the mud and stamping his boots on the tile!


Convincing???
