Santa Came!

Santa made an early visit to our house, for our own version of a white Christmas...and boy did we make out! Thank you to everyone for all of the thoughtful gifts...we are very, very fortunate!

Fred, our very own Friendly Elf has been at our house for a couple weeks. Fred flies to Santa each night and reports back on whether Oli has been good or bad...and when he returns each morning, he lands in a different spot. Believe it or not, Oli was more interested in finding Fred than seeing what Santa left (however we suspect only to see if the bribes he'd been leaving had done the trick) . http://www.elfontheshelf.com/#/home

Thank You Great Grandma for the hand knit sweater...he loved how soft it is!

Auntie Penny, the magician costume was a BIG hit!

He is the one most impressed with his own magic!

"Thanks Santa for my very own stereo, my very own!" swiftly followed by "hey, guess what, i have my very own volume button!!"


Auntie Karen, you were thoughtful to include all of the ingredients to be able to make smores with the smore maker contraption you gave Oli. But a washcloth might have been nice too - now who want's a kiss?
