A little countdown fun

Once again, our Elves scurried around the house while we slept last night! Here is the letter they left for the kids...

Daniel & Arianna- We were starting to wonder if you were ever going to go to sleep last night. As much as we would like to play with you and your sister, we can only come to life when you are asleep!. Thank you again for the crackers and water- it really hit the spot and reminded us of the North Pole. We love being here with you, but we do miss Santa and the others! We noticed that your parents haven't turned the heater on yet this year- do you think if it gets really cold inside that it will snow??? Last night, we found your Snickerdoodle cookies that you helped your Mama make! Those are the best Snickerdoodle cookies we've ever tasted! Do you think your Mama can send the recipe to Mrs. Claus?

Do you have a hard time waiting for things that you want? When we are really excited about something coming up, Mrs. Clause helps us by making a paper chain! Last night, we found the construction paper your Mama bought and we had fun making you a paper chain of your own! Each ring stands for one day and at the end of each day, you get to remove one ring. Then you can count the remaining rings to see how many days are left until Christmas! Since Arianna can't count yet, you'll have to count for her. We're sorry that it's a little messy- we had to tear the paper because we aren't allowed to use scissors without adult supervision!!

Daniel- you and Arianna be super good today and have a great time with your Mama and Daddy! ~DJ & Tinkerbelle


Daniel thought that was really silly of them to climb in the tree. He liked the idea of the paper chain...although once he counted all of the rings, he said "wow...that's A LOT". He also said that I can't send the cookie recipe because that's our special recipe! And then of course he asked for "cinnamon" cookies for breakfast...breakfast of champs!
