Christmas Eve

When my dad and Susan came in November, they brought some Vegan chocolate chips for Calvin (who is allergic to milk, among other things).  Tina melted them and then the boys dipped Oreos (which mysteriously contain no milk -- we can't figure it out either...) in the melted chocolate and topped them with sprinkles.

I gave the boys a bath while Tina put some presents under the tree.  This required removing the "fence" that had been keeping Sara at arm's length since the day the tree went up.  Calvin tried to keep Sara away from the untouchables but the task proved too difficult.

Next we wrote letters for Santa.  Calvin drew a picture and Oscar asked a very important question.

"Why do you have a red suit?" From Oscar

Then we took pictures by the Christmas tree.

Finally we put out some cookies for Santa.  Santa got two of Calvin's special Oreos and some homemade molasses cookies.

After the boys were in bed, I happened to look outside and noticed that it was snowing (again).
