Cookies for Santa

This year in a rare occurence, Chad had Christmas Eve day off work. So since on Christmas day we'd be rushing over in the morning to my parents, we decided to celebrate Christmas Eve on the EVE of Christmas Eve. Got that? Santa came to our house one night early. As previously mentioned, Gavin is big time into Santa this year. We went through the ritual of putting out cookies and milk and even reindeer food. He was SO excited! After going to bed that night, multiple times he was yelling for Daddy an when Chad would go into his room he kept exclaiming that he heard a "BOOM! BOOM!" and it was Santa coming down the chimney. Chad finally convinced him Santa only comes when you're sleeping.

Getting it all ready.

Posed for the camera (Chad took this and apparently never looked to make sure his eyes were open!)
