Clyde...

Clyde is still hanging around our home.  He must be putting lots of miles on!  He heads up to the North Pole each night and reports to Santa how we are doing in our house.   We must be on good behavior, since he returns each morning in a different location!   One day he was hanging out in the candle in the bathroom.

One day he was hanging out on the shelf in Mommy and Daddy's room.  That day he even brought treats back!!!  Extra incentive to be extra good:)

One morning we found  him hanging out on the shelf in Adi's bedroom.

And today he is sitting on the ladder in our living room that will soon be holding our Christmas stockings!  We are loving this new tradition that we have started with the kids.  They are so excited about Clyde, and even Adi keeps telling us that he is 'magic'.  We are having so much fun getting the kids into the Christmas spirit.  We have Christmas tunes playing every morning and afternoon on the way to and from daycare, and the kids have been singing away to "Rudolph" on the karokee machine in the evenings!  Slowly we have been bringing out bins of Christmas decorations, and are anxious to really dig into them this weekend!

We have also been talking a lot about baby Jesus, and what Christmas really means.  I was a very proud Mommy this morning while on the way to daycare Eli told me that "Christmas is really Jesus' birthday, Mom."  You're very right, Buddy- You are very right:)
