We had an AWESOME family Christmas. Here's a new tradition, since we have a yard for the first time in the boys' lives: sprinkling reindeer food on the lawn so Rudolph can have a taste sensation when he takes a nibble on the grass.
Reindeer food is a secret family recipe.* The boys spread it very nicely, and we left a couple of carrots as well because those reindeer will really need the energy for their long flight.
The next morning was of course a big hubbub of torn wrapping paper and delight. The boys snarfed into the candy from their stockings before their eyes were even fully open, and they lapsed into some sort of overstimulated toy-induced Christmas delirium before breakfast.
Here they are enjoying their Angry Birds roller coaster, and do you notice how the plate and glass on the table are suspiciously empty of milk and cookies? (The carrots and reindeer food also disappeared overnight.)
And here, they're off to the races!
*In each bowl: Three tablespoons of oatmeal, 1/2 teaspoon of round multi-coloured cookie sprinkles, and 1/2 teaspoon of long multi-coloured cookie sprinkles. Lovingly stir until proper reindeer-suitable flavour is achieved.

I love your new Christmas tradition of leaving food for Santa's reindeer as well as for Santa! Your secret family reindeer food recipe must also include some very special magic: how else could such a little bit feed all those reindeer?
O what fun to see the boys playing with their new toys!
Thanks once again for sharing your happy family moments. :)
I love seeing the boys at Christmas! They were playing very nicely in these videos. I am sure they got a little more rambunctious later. Thank you for sharing the videos and the play-by-play action of Christmas morning. I loved the reindeer food recipe. We will use it next year.
