We headed to my parents Christmas Eve around 1pm. We started getting our cooking on!! While we were cooking up some turkey, mashed potatoes, cornbread casserole, yams, gravy, dressing, etc we had a little Christmas activity for the kids!
Rice Krispie Houses!! I got this little kit at Target and the kids had a great time making them!! Trying to get them to pose for the camera....So SILLY!!
Decorating with the little tubes of icing that came with the kit.
And then with all the candies!!
The kids creations!!
Nana had DVR'd Grandma got Run over by a Reindeer so we all piled into the living room and watched it while some of the food finished up cooking. Both kids really got into the show and it was pretty cute for the grown ups as well :)
Dinnertime!! We celebrated our true Christmas dinner tonight as we knew we were going to be at my in-laws for Christmas night. Gotta love my picky eaters!! Max had rolls, cucumbers, carrots, pickles and green olives while Emery had a few bites of "chicken" (aka turkey), cheese, cucumbers, carrots, and pickles. She had a roll on her plate but she doesn't really like bread that much. So funny to see what they think of these pictures when they are older! LOL
A happy dinner plate means....a yummy holiday treat!! I think the kids ate a few bites and then wanted to save it for another day. I think really they wanted to save room for some cookies!!
Our next holiday activity and tradition...making cookies for Santa!! We didn't get all festive this year and make fun shapes. We actually did the funfetti Christmas sugar cookies. But we made it fun by rolling them up in balls.
Kids really liked rolling them up!! So fun!! Pawpaw in the background talking to Uncle Michael and Darren!! We sure did miss having them a part of our Christmas fun this year!!
Decorating a few cookies for Santa!!
Good thing Santa likes lots of SUGAR!!! ;)
Santa's cookies!! Made by two sweet sweet kiddos!!
And while we were talking some little girl snuck the icing and was scooping it in with her fingers!! She is such a little mess!! She thought it was hilarious when we caught her!!
As we were leaving that night...Max was so adament on telling Nana to stay inside. He told her he didn't want her to get run over by the reindeer! Ba ha ha ha ha!! So funny but really so so sweet!! My little man has such a tender heart!!
