Christmas Eve

Binker family tradition dictates that Christmas cookies are to be made on Christmas Eve. So we made cookies -- a TON of them! We made sugar cookies and gingerbread to add to the chocolate chip that Grandma Barbara brought from home, plus fudge. Everyone had a great time decorating the trees, men, snowmen, stars, hearts, and teddy bears. Don't worry -- we didn't eat them all... some went to neighbors, some to Max's pre-school, and some to Mark's co-workers.



Christmas Eve dinner -- we cleared the dining room and ate in a civilized manner (as civilized as the Binker boys get). Delicious! Of course, we had cookies for dessert.




After dinner, Mark and the boys sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn. Then we headed to the Lake Myra lightshow.



Before bed, we put out milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer...


Winston, that's for Santa!!


Who put that under our tree?


All ready for Christmas morning!
