Smith Family Weblog

For the second year in a row, we spent Christmas Eve at home in Kansas with my family, and we had a few extra days to spend on fun projects like reindeer food. Ava and Olivia mixed up a special snack that included oatmeal, granulated sugar and red and green sanding sugar (the “magic” ingredients to aid the reindeer in flight). Once their concoction was complete, they spread it throughout the yard.

Then, it was time for the girls to turn their attention to the big guy. Following a present opening with the grandparents, great grandparents and Katie and Tom, Ava and Olivia donned their new Christmas pajamas and set to work on letters to convince Santa they were indeed more good than bad.

Were they successful? You’ll have to wait and see!
