Anna and Tommy were waiting for Christmas Eve.

They wanted to make Santa feel welcome.

Mom said, 'Let's bake cookies for Santa together!'

They gathered flour, sugar, and butter.

Anna mixed the dough while Tommy watched.

Tommy cut the dough into fun shapes.

They decorated the cookies with red and green icing.

The cookies were placed in the oven to bake.

The sweet smell of cookies filled the air.

They left the cookies out for Santa with a glass of milk.

Anna and Tommy went to bed, dreaming of Santa's visit.

In the morning, the cookies were gone, Santa had visited!
