Our neighbors brought over Ziploc bags for Cole and Olivia filled with oats and glitter to feed the reindeer. Apparently the kids are supposed to sprinkle the food all over the grass so that the reindeer can make sure they see your house and make a stop. The glitter gets their attention from the sky and while Santa is busy doing his work inside, the reindeer can munch on the food on the grass. I had never heard of doing this before but the kids loved it and they sprinkled it all over our grass. And guess what? Santa came! So it must have worked!!! By the way - how do you like Olivia's snow white outfit paired with her raincoat and Ugg boots? She couldn't even keep her clothes on Christmas Eve!!

Daddy reading the kids "The Night Before Christmas". This has always been a tradition in my house growing up. My dad still read it to us once we were in college:-)
Time for everyone to hang their stockings
