Walker went down for a nap and we got to decorating. I hated for Walker to miss cookie decorating but he had to have a nap to make it through the church service in the afternoon and he really is too little still anyway. I would say these cookies were our best yet! We are getting better and better at decorating. Usually Kenny is the only one that makes any that are pretty to look at, but this year I did some good ones and Elle too. They were totally yummy and we were proud to leave them out for Santa!

Late afternoon we all went to church together and managed to make it through the entire service. I was sad that we couldn't go to the candlelight service because it is my favorite but it just isn't feasible with small children. We were happy to be there together and hear the good news!
When we got home we grilled steaks and I roasted brussel sprouts and potatoes. Elle and Walker changed into their matching pajamas that Charlie the elf brought them that morning along with a note telling Elle that she could give Charlie a hug goodbye before he left to go back to the North Pole with Santa. She was able to do this last year and she looked forward to those hugs and kisses from Charlie all day.

They love each other a whole lot too.
Then it was time to give Charlie some love!
Santa came!
