Santa came early on Christmas eve all the way from San Diego.

Here is Penelope making cookies for Santa with great grandma on Christmas eve.

We made the Chocolate Crinkle cookies found here.

Here she is rolling them in sugar with grandma. Here are the cookies under the tree waiting for Santa... Here is Penelope opening her presents. She had a blast and was saying "wooow" after each gift. She especially liked the new boots great grandma got her and the hat her brother Regan made her. She couldn't wait to put these on. Look at her brand new kitchen grandma and grandpa got her! And look Santa brought me a rice cooker! Yes! This was Penelope's Christmas dinner. We had a yummy ham, macaroni and cheese, potato salad (mom makes the best),and peas and carrots. I also used my bread maker finally and made an Italian Herb bread but it wasn't ready in time for our Christmas meal. Finally here is Pen in her new Christmas outfit.
