Today, we readied ourselves for Santa's arrival. We baked and decorated cookies:
(that is his look of serious concentration)
Henry likes to use excessive icing when he decorates:
A few cookies were, of course, sampled:
Later, Henry helped Mike make the rice pudding for Christmas Eve dinner:
And was very excited to win the "almond gift" from it:
We all opened our Christmas Eve pajamas and Henry also got to open one toy (which turned out to be a cool dinosaur projecting flashlight):
We put out cookies and milk for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer:
Then, Santa arrived. We all know that the only thing Henry requested this year was a monorail. At first, Santa thought it may not be possible, but he came through (alas, Santa was not aware of how excessively large the monorail was until he set it up. Oops):
It is pretty spiffy - battery operated, makes "announcements" ("please stand clear of the doors", etc) and has seating for various Disney characters:
Finally, the stockings were filled:
And all that was left was to wait until morning...
