This year, I have their packages all prepared for them when they got home from school Friday. Alivia saw them first and saw her candy, Dots, and said, "Can I switch? I don't like it." Really? I told her she could switch with me (aka, have nothing). Seriously, she was crying over the candy. Mayb she has outgrown the fun and spirit of it all, or maybe I have, I don't know.
Asher and Addison were excited by their treats. Asher got an airplane ornament and M&Ms, Addison a Lab puppy and Twizzlers and Alivia a peace sign ornament all from Pottery Barn (after Thanksgiving 25% off with free shipping!) along with the Dots that she was not happy about.
Most of the kids like this tradition, so we will try again next year. The ornaments are helping to fill our tree, and their trees someday, too!

That is a neat tradition! Love it! Does Santa come on Christmas too, or just that day?
Santa comes on Christmas, too. We are pretty sure Addison and Alivia know Santa is Mommy with help from Daddy, but they are not admitting it yet. :)You are supposed to sit your shoes out and St. Nicholas fills the shoes with gifts and sugary treats. :)
