Getting ready for Christmas


On the Christmas Eve before our Elf, Christopher Ralph Popinkins, went back to the North Pole, Santa lifted his magic so the boys could give him a hug.  Sam didn't want to let him go.  He cried and cried about having to say goodbye.  But our sweet little Elf sent them a letter and some presents 2 weeks after Christmas.  The letter assured them he was having fun in the North Pole and that he misses them.  Our family Elf just may be more beloved than Santa!

Ryan took Sam ice skating with the Young Men and Young Women.

What a fun party at the Sousleys! As you can see, the guys had to wear an ugly Christmas sweater and the women had to have Whoville Hair.  Of course, J's hair stole the show with her long amazing hair.  She put a cut off 2 liter bottle on her head and her hair around it.   Fun to have a party just for adults.  



Tessa cracks me up.  She was devastated that I took the cell phone away.  This is just the beginning!  Merry Christmas.

I love your elf! That is hilarious the box of Joe's O's! And the toilet paper in the Christmas tree! And so sweet about Sam crying when he left. So sweet. Sam has such a sweet spirit.
