Reindeer Food...

No Christmas is quite complete without

the making of the

Reindeer Food!

~

I put all the different food that

Reindeer love to eat,

on the tray...

gave each of the kids a glass jar,

and let them mix up some tasty

Reindeer food!

~

Reindeer are a peculiar animal...

their favorite food is as follows...

kix cereal

{the very old stale kind from the very back of the pantry!}

Dry steel cut oats

{you know, the expensive gluten free kind!}

Mini marshmallows

Dried coconut

Fruity pebbles

and

glitter

lots and lots of glitter!

You see, the glitter is shiny and reflects off the

light of the moon so the

reindeer know just were to land next!

Trust me,

I know these things!

We made the

Reindeer food on

Christmas eve

{because I am super on top of things!}

We kept the jars on the table until

night came...

As we waited for our

Christmas eve dinner to cook,

the kids went outside and sprinkled the

Reindeer food

on the ground...

and in the morning,

a miracle appeared to have happened...

the reindeer food was gone...

as was the cookies and milk

we left for Santa we also all eaten up...

And little gifts were neatly wrapped up

and placed on the kids pillows...

"Do you think

Santa was really here?"

Elsie asked over and over...

to which James replied,

"yeah, hoho!"

How else could the eaten food and gifts possibly

be explained!?
