Santa came and ate his cookies and drank his milk

Hailey actually slept in until about 7am… then someone called my phone and that woke her up.  Then she ran out to the living room to see if Santa had come:

Then it was time to open some presents.

Hailey had begged for the Dora Surprise House and she was happy to get it.

Dottie enjoyed getting some treats.

Very happy to get the Rapunzel Castle.

After we finished making cookies Hailey picked a couple of cookies to leave out for Santa.

Hailey opened her Christmas Eve presents- a new pair of pajamas and a new book.

Then we went over to Aunt Winnie’s house for Christmas Eve.

Hailey passed presents out to everyone.

It was a wonderful Christmas Eve!  Then we went home and went to bed and waited for Santa to come

On Christmas Eve we spent the day making cookies.

After the cookies cooled we went out to the table to put frosting on them.  Hailey’s elf, Bobby, watched us decorate cookies.

Lots of cookies decorated by Hailey.

The week before Christmas Hailey’s class had a Holiday Sing-A-Long.  I got to sit on the floor with Hailey and sing the songs with her while Rich and my parents got to sit and watch the sing-a-long.
