Christmas Eve

We were completely disorganized this year. We were in the midst of painting the kitchen cabinets and before we knew it, it was dinner time Christmas Eve and the cookies hadn't even been baked yet. I made a batch of chocolate and white choc chip cookies, the boys were bathed, new pjs put on and it was time to track Santa's progress around the world. We watched the Santa web-cam - flying over the pyramids, the Great Wall of China, Big Ben....Santa was in South America, he was getting closer, then he was in Canada...time to set out the cookies for Santa and carrot for Rudolf. It was raining outside and so Ben suggested Santa might prefer a glass of whiskey to keep him warm instead of cold milk - good thinking - and Bill didn't disagree.



Once the photos were taken I noticed Jonathan hovering around the plate of cookies....then....Caught You.....





It wasn't until the next day when I realized he'd taken a bite out of 3 of the cookies.

Once the boys were in bed....the fat guy in the red suit showed up and this is the result....
