I got the dough made for the sugar cookies and gingerbread men and baked up the snickerdoodles before Christian got home for the day.
After he got home we got busy with our rolling pins and had a blast decorating the cookies!
I pretty much baked non-stop Friday and Saturday and got it all done.
He put out the cookies for Santa...
And the stockings were hung by the chimney...
The tree pre-Santa...
Before bed we read "Twas the Night Before Christmas"...
And even Gordon had visions of sugarplums while waiting for Santa!

Santa arrived on schedule and it was so much fun to experience the excitement of a four year old on Christmas morning. Grandma and Grandad made the drive from Stevensville in the morning to watch Christian open his presents. He loved everything he got but I think the highligts were his Superman bathrobe and his karate uniform! Mommy and Daddy signed him up for lessons and wrapped up his uniform to surprise him.
The tree post-Santa...
The stockings filled with their bounty...
After we got everything unwrapped we all had a nice breakfast and played with some of Christian's new toys for awhile. Then, we managed to pull ourselves together and headed off to Uncle Skip and Aunt Colleen's for Christmas dinner with the rest of the Bailey clan. It was great to see everyone. Christian loves to see all his Aunts, Uncles and cousins.

We had a great Christmas and we hope you all did too. I'll do a separate post about New Year's and some fun stuff we did while we were off work and school.
