We decorated our cookies for Santa. Poor Brooks took a tumble off of the step ladder, but some icing cured him. We also made some reindeer food.
Jackson was so excited all day! We took naps and got ready for church. Brooks went to the nursery, and Jackson came to big church with us. It was so crowded that we sat in the balcony. Jackson was pretty good and liked walking down for Communion. His favorite part was when we lit the candles and sang Silent Night. He was so excited, but he kept blowing it out like it was a birthday candle. It is such a beautiful service. Brooks was excited to see us.
We rushed home, and Tim fixed shrimp and grits. Noni and Papa Jerry came over to eat. Then it was time for baths. We got the cookies ready and threw out the reindeer food. Then it was time for bed. I tried to put both boys together at the same time. After saying our prayers, they got wild. Brooks was jumping on the bed and yelling "tada!" Jackson kept telling him to go to sleep because Santa doesn't come if you are awake. Finally Tim had to come get Brooks, but no before Jackson said, "Merry Christmas Eve!" It still took Jackson a long time to go to sleep. It took Brooks even longer.
