The boys were so concerned about leaving something for Santa to eat. What was going though my head is more cooking, yuck! So one of my good friends was telling me a few days ago that they make reindeer food and leave it for the reindeer while Santa is putting your presents under the tree. I thought this was a brilliant idea! So the ingredients consisted of oatmeal, sugar, of course and shiny red sprinkles, so the reindeer could find it. I let the boys decided how much to put in and they were sure the reindeer would be extra hungry! When we took it outside they decided to dump it on the porch so the reindeer would be as close to the house as possible so they could try to sneak a peek out of their bedroom window!!! It was so fun to watch their little imaginations go to work!
After all the presents were opened they had to venture out on the porch to see if the reindeer ate their food. Sure enough it was gone!!!!

Wow! We think alike. We did the same thing as well. Ours had a bit of magical glitter in it so the deer could find it. I think it was a fun tradition that we've started. Your kids are so funny about putting it on the porch.
