The night before Christmas....

Joey describes how Santa will arrive down the chimney and eat cookies and deliver presents.

Jocie, Joey, Jess and cousin Ryan all work on making Santa's X-Mas cookies...

I think Ryan really enjoyed this part...

Decorating them became a bit on the messy side...

and there was plenty of cross contamination between the colors...

Jenny reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas', a annual Pike family tradition for Christmas Eve.

One last picture before we try and get everyone to go to bed... Did you notice the matching PJs? Every year, Jenny gets the kids new PJs and they get to open them as presents on Christmas Eve...

The Cookie Selection Commitee at it's annual board meeting...

Santa's Cookie Delivery Service Processional...

Delivery completed!
