I was really impressed that Ella was still awake when we got home from my parents’ house. It was after 8 o’clock, but thanks to that trusty flashlight, she was wide awake when we got here. She helped her daddy pick out two really pretty cookies for Santa and poured him a glass of milk. Above is a picture of her helping carry it from the kitchen to its perch near the tree.
Beemer really wanted a bite! We were working on putting a table near the tree for Santa’s treats and she was standing guard. Santa is lucky that we were paying attention. His cookies could’ve been gone before he ever had a chance.
Here is Ella saying goodnight to Scout and reminding him that she had been a really good girl. She was hoping Scout would put in a good word for her when Santa came to pick him up. We left him out with our milk and cookies knowing that it was time for him to be reunited with his elf friends and family. We’ll miss you Scout!
