One of my favorite memories from last Christmas is Liza sprinkling reindeer food on our front yard (ummm...I mean, rocks) before bed on Christmas Eve. She'd been given a tiny bag of oats, sprinkles, and glitter with these instructions:
"Sprinkle this reindeer food outside tonight.
The moonlight will make it sparkle bright.
As the reindeer fly and roam,
this will guide them to your home."
As we began preparing for Christmas this year, one of the first things she wanted to do was make reindeer food. Apparently it's a favorite memory of hers too.
Our recipe:
1 cup of oats
1/2 cup of Christmas colored sprinkles
1/2 cup of sparkly sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
Mix well (serious expression required)
We plan to divide it up into pretty Christmas bags to give to her friends next week at school.

Hopefully you don't find me on all fours trying to eat your front yard.
