Nick the Elf



We have a boarder at our house for a few weeks. This is Nick, the Elf. He has come to watch over the kids and report back to Santa about their behavior, good or bad. He flies back to the North Pole every night and in the morning he finds a new place to sit. Cooper is really good at finding him in the morning. I'm not sure if Nick is really doing his job of encouraging good behavior but he sure is cute!

Speaking of behavior, remember that sweet little baby I was always bragging about? Well, she has disappeared! She has been replaced by a very needy, demanding child who is INTO EVERYTHING! Here she is trying to bring the tree down...



She's still pretty sweet when she sleeps though...



Poor Cooper has been under the weather this weekend. He had a touch of the stomach bug and is still not really over it. He missed the Christmas musical at church and today he missed school. I just talked to Mary and she said he is better but it's possible she is just saying that so he will go back to school and not be home all day tomorrow. Can't say I blame her!

Our little elf is called " Mr Jingles"-At first the kids were having a great time finding him every morning and now it has turned into Will having a major fit if his sister finds him before he does! Great way to start the morning! It has been a neat little tradition to start- Although, it has not helped with the kids behavior too much!!
