Reindeer food

Recently, at a friend's play date, we learned what reindeer food was and how to make it.  It is a combination of colored sugar, sugar and oatmeal.  The premise behind it is you sprinkle the food on the snow the night before Christmas so Santa's reindeer will have something to eat while Santa is in your house delivering your toys.  We made some on Friday so we could practice before Christmas Eve.  Katie and Allie had a blast sprinkling it on our backyard.  I think we will be ready for Christmas Eve!
