Elliot - the Christmas season has come and gone and you were all in this year. So fun! When we put our tree up, you jumped and got so excited with every.single.ornament. A plan was developed by you about which ornaments to put where and why so that Louise wouldn't break any of the special ones. GK got you a Christmas countdown ornament and daily you check it to see how many days until Christmas.
We baked a lot of Christmas cookies and you were a huge help, measuring the flouring and turning on the mixer. And a new tradition began this Christmas with Elf on the Shelf appearing. She arrived on December 1 and it took you a few days to get it. She is magical after you adopt and name her. You decided to name her Bean =) You wanted her name to start with the letter "B" and that is what you came up with. She cannot be touched or her magic will disappear. She reported back to Santa at the North Pole each night. Every morning you woke up to find her in a different place. Bean added some special moments to Christmas this year.
You loved looking at Christmas lights and asked why we don't decorate the outside of our house. (Thanks we get the hint).
There were a lot of questions about Santa that we didn't expect already. You pointed out that we don't have a chimney or a fireplace. And prior to visiting Santa, you informed me that he wasn't the real Santa...
At school during recess, do you have Santa 101 discussions or what?
On Christmas Eve, you were so excited to select special cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.
On Christmas morning your eyes almost burst when you saw what Santa brought. And you couldn't believe Santa knew what kind of candy was your favorite. It was so cute!
Looking forward to creating more memories and traditions with you buddy.
Love,
Mommy
