Snowpocalypse

Learn from the dinosaurs: NEVER start a snowball fight with an elf.
Mac is going back to his home at the North Pole tonight. You can tell by his latest adventure he is missing the snow (it isn't going to be a white Christmas in New England this year), especially making snow angels! He left a nice note for Caleb and Nate, telling them he loves them and reminding the boys to be good (for Caleb to "listen to mommy and daddy" and Nate that "teeth are for smiling not biting!")

Here's hoping that St. Nicholas will soon be at your place!
You all are good souls in our book! Merry Christmas!

DAY TWO: Monkeying Around

It took Caleb a little longer to find Mac today. ; )

Introducing "Mac"

A dear friend gave Nate and Caleb the gift of The Elf on the Shelf.
Caleb named our elf Macaroni, but we call him "Mac" for short. Pun completely intended. :)

Caleb was so excited this morning to discover Mac had disappeared from his bookshelf (the last spot Caleb saw the elf before he drifted off to sleep). He couldn't wait to clamor downstairs and find him! He was amazed to find Mac at his play table drawing in his dinosaur coloring book. Caleb hasn't stopped chattering about Mac and how "silly" his little elf is.

We stuck Mac's masterpiece on the fridge. ;)
And yes, Mac used our trove of Christmas books atop Caleb's chair to reach the table.
Sneaky little guy.

This Christmas has been so much more fun than any of our previous Christmases. Caleb's wonder makes the holiday a brighter occasion.
