Random Christmas

We made this Santa for our advent this year.  Each day both boys got to add a cotton ball to his beard until the bowl was empty.

DSC_0168 I know that my Kade and Jax were not eating my M&Ms but somehow the vase kept getting low so Kade wrote a note for dad.  When Grandma and Grandpa came for Christmas Kade had to make an addition to his note.

It wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t make our favorite Hershey kiss pretzels.  Kade helps unwrap all the kisses and he even puts the M&Ms on top when they come out of the oven.

DSC_0206 Our decorations were pretty much the same as last year and we didn’t have any sunny days to take good pictures before I took them all down.

Haha, that is funny that Jaxson threw a fit on Christmas morning. Aren't kids funny that way!? I am sure Santa probably LOVED the reindeer donuts, right! We always make "santas" favorite cookies at our house. :) Glad you had a merry Christmas!
