We were headed back to Laurens for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so we thought we would celebrate our little family Christmas on Monday, December 23 and have Santa arrive at our house the morning of Christmas Eve.
In late afternoon we opened our gifts and carried on our tradition of making snicker doodle cookies and having soup for supper. Then on our way up to bed we made sure to set out cookies and milk for Santa--oh and carrots for the reindeer. We also had to say our good-byes to our elf, Zon.
This year's Christmas festivities were so much fun because Brody actually understood the concept of setting out cookies for Santa, opening gifts, and celebrating Jesus's birthday. Brandon and I really enjoyed the Christmas season this year, and I am very sad to see it go.
