Reindeer Food

This year we decided to make some reindeer food. Everyone leaves cookies and milk for Santa, but what about the reindeer. The reindeer do all the work of pulling the sleigh and they must get so hungry pulling the huge load.

I found a recipe for reindeer food so Talan and I made them a delicious snack.

The recipe said that reindeer like oats and since Santa's reindeer are magical we added some special crystals.

Talan showing how you have to mix it altogether.

Talan loves to help me in the kitchen.

Our finish Magical Reindeer Food!!

I am sure that Rudolph will be thanking us tomorrow!!

Signed Santa

Santa wrote us back! Talan was so excited to get a letter in the mail.

Lincoln was also way excited to receive the letter.

We are so glad that Santa had time to write us back since he is so busy working in the shop getting ready for Christmas.

Hopefully he will show up with his sled full of toys!!!

Santa's Little Helpers

This year I told Jason that I got all the neighbor gifts ready so his job was to deliver them. So Jason and Talan  decided to take them on the 4-wheeler. Talan loves to ride on it, he was so excited to take the gifts to the neighbors

They even rigged up and bag so they didn't have to hold them.

And they are off!

Candy Canes and Reindeer

A few years ago at our ward party the kids made some fun bead candy cane decorations. So we decided to meet Brayden over and grandma C and make some new ones.

The boys had a fun time making the decorations. They made one for everyone in the family.

Lincoln going to go for a ride on his bike.

When we got home Talan hung his decorations on the tree in his room. He was a little bummed when he found out that Rudolph's nose didn't glow. This year for some reason Talan thinks that Rudolph's name is actually Murdock. Whenever we talk about Rudolph, Talan laughs at us and tell us that his name is Murdock. So for all of you that didn't know Santa has a new reindeer named Murdock.
