Every year my mom makes the best sugar cookies. She always saves a couple so the kids can decorate their own. 
Porter did a really good job this year, trying to make them look like grandma's.
Aubrey of course ate more frosting then she put on her cookie.
Finished product. 
Aubrey's cookie.
A month ago when I had the kids go through catalogs and cut out the toys they wanted on their wish list Porter asked for an Easy Bake Oven. I kept telling him he was to young for an Easy Bake Oven. But he kept talking about it and saying, Mom, I hope I get the Oven." GG Rella came through and Porter got his Easy Bake Oven.
Once we started making the cookies we realized it wasn't so easy. It took almost an hour to bake 6 tiny little cookies. But if you could have seen how proud Porter was of those cookies it was worth it.
Aubrey comes down looks at all the stuff under the tree, including her bike and runs straight for the candy.
Nate got a marshmallow gun. He was shooting the marshmallows all over and Aubrey was running around putting them in her mouth. Nothing like a sugar high at 7am.
Porter thinking about which present to go for next.
King of the Hill!
Santa stopped by the church this morning to meet the kids. I have to say that my children are two of the few who are scared of Santa....and the Little Ceasers Man.....and the Red Robin....Porter finally sat on his lap with a friend. Comfort in numbers.
As you can see Aubrey was not going near him. She did take her candy bag and from a distance told him she wanted a bike. The good news in all this is we won't have to take them to Disneyland anytime soon.
Each year we let the kids decorate a gingerbread house. Aubrey loves the candy.
This year Porter really got into it.
