Yesterday was super busy. Lots of cooking and preperation. One thing we made was chocolate wafer cookies, a recipe passed down for generations. They are yummy and were my favorite cookies when I was a kid. They still are. Anyway, we laid out four of these cookies for Santa, and when the kids went to bed, I ate them, making sure to leave plenty of crumbs on the plate. I also left a note from Santa that said:

Dear Aidan, Callie and Joe,

Thank you for the delicious cookies. Rudolph liked them so much he ate two! They were YUMMY!

Love,
Santa

This morning, my son took one look at the note and the crumb covered plate and said, "See? That PROVES Santa is real! A deer ate those cookies, because what person could make such a mess when they eat?"

Lol. Hee hee. I suspect he doesn't really believe in Santa, but I tell you, that kid is quick with the wit. And now, since everyone just loves pictures of other people's kids, I will post a few from the last couple days.
