Santa and Cookies

I know that based on the title of this post you would think the cookies have something to do with Santa but that's not the case. We went to story hour at the library on Thursday and Santa was scheduled to appear. I told Atreyu and Cindie that he was coming and they got very excited. While we were waiting, we sang some Christmas songs and the kids made some cute reindeer they could hang on the fridge.

We all heard some jingle bells and knew that Santa was coming. The kids were so happy to see him. Cindie sat on his lap with the cutest little grin on her face as she told him that she wanted a baby.

Last year Atreyu just cried when I tried to sit him on Santa's lap. This year he went willingly without me. Santa gave each kid a present and a candy cane and Atreyu had seen that he had given the other kids a book so when Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, he said a book. I got a picture of him and Cambria with Santa and of course Cambria isn't looking and Atreyu is doing his closed eyes "cheese" face.

Now to the cookies. We made sugar cookies again a couple days ago and Atreyu had to make his own cookies as well. He's been doing this for a few weeks making cake and chicken. He grabs any of his toy containers, stuffs them with as many toys as he can, and puts them in the "oven" which is on a bookshelf. It's so funny watching him do this and I have tried to organize all the toys at the end of the day but I'm starting to think that it's just not worth it. He's such a smart kid and I love him so much!
