Making Santa Cookies!

While Mason took a nap on Christmas Eve Michael and I made Santa some cookies. Michael was such a big help, he did most of the work. I just had to fish out the egg shells and clean his hands off when he cracked the egg and dropped everything in the bowl! He couldn't quite stir the batter all the way so I helped with that. Then when the dough got stuck to the rolling pin he got frustrated so I helped with that. Then before bed Michael and Mason each decorated a cookie for Santa.













Santa knew that he was going to have a really late night so he was hoping that the kids would fall asleep easily! Mason did fall asleep as soon as we put him in bed around ten. Michael was way too excited though! We had been tracking Santa on the internet to see where he was and Michael would not stop watching him. Then when we told Michael that Santas next stop was Utah and if he was not asleep Santa would just pass him by. Oh my gosh he got so panicked! He started yelling at us to get in bed, he couldn't get his p.j.s on fast enough, and he got a little scared that Santa would come while he was still awake and talk to him. So I helped him get his p.j.s on and then we let him come lay down in our bed with us. It didn't take any longer than five minutes for him to fall asleep then.
