In preparation for a Christmas that Carter will enjoy and possibly remember (probably not, but maybe, I guess!), we talked about Santa. She didn't really get it, but can pick out Santa in the mess of toys. We talked about being "good" and "bad," and being on Santa's list. We also talked about leaving him cookies and milk. We made our own cookies, which Carter enjoyed. She liked "testing" them for quality the most! If I were Santa, I think I might pass on anything Carter helped make!
First, we have to put on the frosting ...
... but before the "putting on" phase is the "quality assurance" stage!
It's a good thing Carter is such a civic-minded individual - risking her own health and safety to ensure the safety of Santa!
"Here, Mommy! Try a bite!"
"So good!"
Look at all those frosting-covered teeth! "All the better to eat cookies with!"
"I love cookies! I hope Santa loves them, too!"
