Reindeer Feed

Yesterday, we did one of the most important activities of Christmas - making reindeer feed!  You have to sprinkle reindeer feed on the ground outside your house so that the reindeer know which houses to stop at :)

Katy took a super long nap, so Lane got to make enough reindeer feed for the two of them.

First, add oatmeal (since the reindeer are pretty hungry) -

Then, add a little cinnamon (because it's yummy) and lots of glitter (so the reindeer can see it).

After Katy woke up, we took it outside to sprinkle on the lawn.  Lane insisted on the front yard so that the reindeer could see it from the street.

Katy wasn't too sure what was going on, but after she watched Lane, she poured hers on the ground too.

Whisky came over for a taste - she might be the only "reindeer" we see :)

I don't think that anything could top last year's reindeer feed.  We mixed it all up and poured it on the ground. Lane was excited, but I don't think he really knew what was going on.

The next morning, we looked out the window and saw several deer running by.  I called to Lane - "Look, the reindeer are here!" and he stared out the window, mesmerized.  Perfect timing to amaze a little boy.
