bennett's first Christmas eve

Today is Bennett's first ever Christmas eve.  We didn't have any special plans but to spend the day at home baking and relaxing.  I decided to bake three different types of cookies.  No point in making more since we will be the only ones eating them.  I made Russian tea cakes, gooey chocolate butter cookies and peanut butter thumbprints.  I think I will make those three every year from now on as tradition.  Bennett crawled around and "helped."  We did a really good job.  The cookies turned out delicious.

Bennett spent the day crawling around and watching Disney movies.  He tried breaking into his gifts only about a dozen times.  Here he is multitasking and watching a movie while breaking into his gifts. 

We ordered Chinese for dinner (another tradition in the making) from our favorite place Yong Shing.  Bennett enjoyed the rice but he wasn't a big fan of the chicken.  After we played for a bit longer it was time for bed.  Bennett put out milk and a few cookies for Santa after bathtime.  He then attempted to eat them himself.  

I hope that Santa wasn't watching that part and brings him something good.  Sweet dreams Bennett.
