'Twas the Night Before Christmas

We had a great Christmas Eve! Since we didn't officially make any Christmas treats this year, we decided to let the kids make sugar cookies for Santa. Mason helped mix up the dough and roll it out. Tristyn joined in to cut them out. Mason's had a great time with the flour and his clothes were covered in it! They helped frost and decorate the cookies, but more sprinkles ended up in their little mouths then on the cookies! It was a fun project and based on the note left by Santa, he and Rudolph both enjoyed the cookies!
After cleaning up the cookie mess, we got to open our Christmas Eve gifts . . . new pajamas. Mason liked his robot pjs and was so excited about opening more gifts that he ended up opening all of our pajamas! They also opened a couple of books for their bedtime stories. As you can see in the photos, Melissa started with the Eeyore pjs, but we ended up switching since Santa got the sizes a little confused!
After we read stories, both kids peaked through the blinds to check for Santa Clause! It was so cute! It took Mason a bit to get to sleep, so I'm sure he was super excited for Santa to sneak in a and leave presents under his tree!
