We spent most of this rainy day in our pajamas! I finished up our cinnamon rolls. Then the boys and I made cookies for Santa. They loved using the cookie cutters. Brooks ate most of the icing. Jackson really liked putting the icing on the cookies. Brooks loved pouring tons of sprinkles on his cookies.
Jackson has been so excited all week, and he cannot wait until Santa comes. He has decided to sleep upstairs though because he does not want Santa to "peek at him" while he is sleeping!
We Zoomed with Susie and Emma today. Then it was time to get ready for church. Brooks refused to nap but of course fell asleep on the way. Thankfully one of his buddies was already in the nursery, so he was fine. We sat in the balcony so we could enjoy the beauty of the candlelight service. Jackson spent most of the time jumping off the step, so I am not sure that was the best idea. He kept asking when we were going to light the candles over and over! When it finally came time, he was really nervous to hold his candle. That is the first time he has been that close to a candle (other than on a birthday cake!). He would hold it for a few seconds and then pass it to one of us. It was very sweet. That is one of my favorite services of the entire year.
We enjoyed shrimp and grits for dinner. Noni and Papa Jerry came over. We attempted some pictures, but Brooks was not in the best mood since he went without a nap! The boys did have fun putting out the cookies for Santa. We also through our reindeer food outside. We read the story of Jesus's birth from their Jesus Calling bible. Then both boys fell asleep really quickly. Jackson did wake up in the middle of the night asking me about the reindeer food!
