Reindeer Sandwiches & Letter to Santa

The weather is freezing outside, so it finally feels like Christmas is near! We spent the whole day at home to avoid the cold. What do you do with a crazy 3 year old who is cooped up in the house, you ask... Well, you start getting creative.

We made reindeer sandwiches for lunch. I saw the idea in Clayton's Big Backyard magazine. We did our best to recreate it. We didn't have raisins, so we used chocolate chips for the eyes. :)

Then, after his nap, we wrote Clayton's letter to Santa. We wrote a good old fashioned letter - no emailed list for us (Megan, aren't you proud!). Clayton watched Star Wars: Clone Wars recently, so many of his wishes are Star Wars inspired. He is still WAY into costumes, so he decided that Wade & I needed Star Wars costumes as well.


I transcribed Clayton's letter word for word. He came up with all of it - so funny!

Finally, tonight the weather warmed up a bit. So, we went to see Santa (again!).
