This afternoon, while I was out supposedly enjoying alone time (but really, grocery shopping at the busy, crowded grocery store), I realized that we had to make our cookies for Santa tonight. Tomorrow night wouldn't be possible, because we were spending the day with Nana, the Aunts/Uncle and family celebrating Christmas. I looked at my watch. It was 4:22. I had to make dinner and make cookies. Fa la la la laaa!
I raced home and made a quick Chinese stir-fry. Then, I rolled the dough out, cookie-cuttered and baked cookies while Bode and Gianna ate their dinner. After they cooled, I put them on a clean cookie sheet to contain the sprinkly sugary mess fun that was about to occur. Then I presented the cookies to Bode for icing and decorating. I kept it really simple: frosting out of a can and two sugar sprinkles. I'm embarrassed to admit that I used prepackaged frosting. But, nobody is going to eat them so I really don't feel that bad.
Bode is excited that Santa has cookies to eat tomorrow night. He said that maybe we should ask Santa to leave 1 cookie for Bode to eat. I told him that we would write Santa a note wishing him a Merry Christmas, thanking him, and asking him to leave 1 cookie for Bode.
