Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas Eve 201o
Today we went to church...the 2:30 Christmas Eve service at Southside.
(before that we were completely lazy and watched way too much TV)

Here are the darlings just about ready to go.

And here they are in a more natural form.

The Christmas Eve service was great. Awesome (Awesome!) music but Lauren and Tyler got a little tired from sitting still for so long. (Everyone was together for the Christmas Eve service...no "Sunday School" for the kids.)

Back home we got ready for Santa and the Reindeer.

We made chocolate chip cookies for him.
(Tyler and Lauren did some quality control)

And we made Magic Reindeer Food.
Tyler made his at school.Lauren made hers from scratch.
Recipe for Reindeer Food:
1/3 cup Whole Grain Old Fashioned Oats

and about 10 shakes from the colorful sprinkles jar.
(so the reindeer can see the food from above.)
Then go outside and spread the food all over the front lawn...or in our case all over the walkway to the front door.

Look at those sparkly sprinkles.



After we made sure there was plenty of reindeer food out and about we went down the street to take care of our neighbor's pets.
We played with Sadie.

(who Tyler kept calling Stacey)
and also hung out with Meow.
Back home we watched a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer show and then it was off to bed.
L and T left a cookie for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph.
Merry Christmas to all!
