{ rudolph the red-nosed reindeer... }

...needs to eat. Just like everybody else.

So we mixed up some reindeer food today. We'll sprinkle it on the lawn on Christmas Eve. So the reindeer can have a little snack while Santa does his thing.

I set up oats, raisins, cocoa powder, crushed chips and a sprinkle-glitter mixture. It was up to Turtle to mix up just the right combination of ingredients.

He was pretty fond of the sprinkles.

A little bit o' this. A little bit o' that.

Mommy! Look!

He took his time measuring out the perfect quantities.

Shaking it all up. I guess maybe that activates the extra flying power? I don't know. I was just supervising.

Hopefully, the reindeer enjoy it!
