Every December since moving into this house, we've been doing a new Christmas tradition: we bake cookies and deliver them to the neighbors on our street. This year was the first year that Austin was aware enough and able enough to really help and it made the experience much more meaningful and enjoyable for all of us.

| Our own miniature Santa. (The hat didn't last long.) |
 |
| I love this picture! (I'm finally in front of the camera!) |
 |
| We told him "Knock and say 'Merry Christmas' and hand them the cookies." He was great at knocking, but we can't get him to say "Merry Christmas." Maybe next year. |
 |
| If they didn't answer the door, we just left them on the doorstep. |
 |
| He was great about pulling a bag out of the basket and then taking it up to the door and knocking. |
 |
| We had an extra bag, so we gave him a cookie after the last house/on the way home. |
 |
| LOVE these pictures! |
We love being generous and neighborly to our neighbors. We always get such wonderful comments and feedback from them. I love our street!
I missed this post before but it is SO cute! Austin looks like such a big boy :). What a great tradition.
