Twas the day before Christmas...

The boys are so excited for Santa's arrival tonight they can hardly stand it! They've had a lazy day, watching a few of the Christmas shows on TV, baking cookies for Santa and trying to make the clock move faster.

All mixed up and ready for the oven...

Mmm fresh sprinkly chocolate chip cookies...

Testing the product, quality control...

These are some of the best darn cookies we've made in a while!

As the boys have been lazing about, I've been getting the house ready for company in the morning. I've had to make myself stop because the OCD was getting the better of me. But the house looks great, the serving dishes are all clean, cups and utensils sit at the ready. I guess I'm trying to make the clock move faster as well!
After dinner we'll go out and sprinkle reindeer food on the grass. We have a couple more shows on our viewing list this evening, then Christmas stories before putting the boys to bed. Once that happens, it's time to get the tables set for the morning and play Santa. My favorite thing about all this will be watching White Christmas in the process, I've grown to love this movie and it's on multiple times tonight, but it starts perfectly at 8pm just the right time to get it all done.

So Merry Christmas to you all, hope your day is wonderful!
