Treats for Santa

One final Christmas-related post (almost a month later).

While Daddy was out biking, Ellie and I made some cookies to leave for Santa when he came.

Look at how pretty they turned out.
I did go the easy way out- I bought the pre-made dough
and we didn't cut them into any fun holiday shapes.

But they still tasted wonderful,
or at least Ellie thought so as she wanted 'more' than
the one she was allowed to 'taste test'.

She was very upset that she couldn't have more before going to bed on 'Christmas Eve'.
Notice how she brought her own Kleenex box? She needed them to dry her tears.

Here is what she left for Santa (with a little help from her Mommy).

I am excited for her to get older and be more and more excited for Santa to arrive! But I am not ready for her to grow-up too fast.
