Santa Cookies And Excess Energy

Several years ago, Santa told Henry that his favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin with chocolate chips. Good thing Grandma was here to help Henry and Alice make Santa cookies today.

Grandma has a little more patience than I do when it comes to children helping in the kitchen! She even let them crack the eggs. Go, Grandma. Lots of fun dropping the dough onto the cookie sheets.

A successful cookie session!
Following lunch, the kids were so full of energy, that I just had to get them out of the house. So, we headed out for a long bike ride.

However, it was quite chilly, so we had to stop at our favorite coffee house for hot chocolate.


Then it was home to help Grandma and Grandpa make peppermint cheesecake for dessert for Christmas day. Smashing Oreo cookies is always fun!
And now we're counting the hours/minutes til we get to open presents. It can't come soon enough!
