On Christmas Eve (Friday, December 24th) we made cookies for Santa Claus while we waited for MawMaw and PawPaw to arrive from Alabama. We baked cookies last year with Carter and he loved it so this has become one of our family Christmas traditions. Carter was so excited to make cookies for Santa! He was the cutest mess ever! He loved getting into the flour and using all the kitchen utensils. He loves helping in the kitchen when Courtney cooks but is normally over it quickly. With this, we had to pry him away from the counter when everything was finished! He had the best time and we hope he continues to enjoy this family tradition.

Scooping out flour so that we can roll out the dough- Carter loved the little scooper!
Rolling out the dough was one of the highlights for Carter! 
He loved using the cookie cutters!
Carter had flour from his head to his toes! 
The cookies didn't turn out quite as we planned- they were blobs instead of shapes! Carter didn't mind one bit!
Carter liked using the spreader for icing instead of the icing bags.
Before Carter went to bed, we had him set out the cookies and milk for Santa.

Before Carter went to bed, we had him set out the cookies and milk for Santa. He was so excited about this... even though you can't really tell from the picture.
