Of course we waited until Christmas Eve to visit Santa, why not? We did the same thing last year so Craig and I decided this will now be a Cochran tradition :)
Even with a lolly pop bribe we could not convince Sam to sit on Santa's lap :( Oh well, he agreed to the horse so we were grateful for that!
After visiting Santa and some last minute shopping, our cousins came over to spend the evening with us :) We always have so much fun when they visit - especially Sam! We exchanged gifts, ate a ton, and tracked Santa's where-a-bouts on the ipad.
Before bed, we finished frosting Santa's cookies. Sam insisted on making sure they were yummy enough for Santa!
Cookie #2...
Wrapped and ready to go for the big guy!
Check out my extra handy (and handsome!) husband putting Sam's new easel together - he finished at 11:30pm and did a GREAT job! The look on Sam's face when he saw the finished product on Christmas morning was priceless!
Time for bed...we had this crazy idea that since Sam didn't nap on Christmas Eve that he would "sleep in" the next morning...OH NO! He was up at 12:30am, 2am, 4am, 6am, and finally got mommy and daddy out of bed at 7am :) Or at least I think it was 7...I was still half asleep!
