The Big Melt of '09

Well the snow is melting, you can see streets and driveways and sidewalks again. There is still snow everywhere and schools have been closed all week, so that means we didn't have PT yesterday or today. However a strange package came from the North Pole, it had stamps all over it from weird places we have never heard of like Canada, Australia and Greece. So we opened it and inside was a cute little elf and a story all about him.

We must have blinked because before we knew it.... he was sitting up in our window.

So here is his deal. He apparently shows up around Christmas time every year (Mommy said there was a big snow storm in the North Pole this year as well so he was a little late getting to us, next year he is probably going to visit us after Thanksgiving) and he sits and watches us all day long and finds out if we are good or bad and every night while we are asleep he zooms back to the North Pole to tell Santa what we did that day and if we were naught or nice. Every morning when we wake up he will be sitting in a new spot and we have to find him. But of course there are rules. We can talk to him and tell him what we want for Christmas, but we can't touch him or he will lose his magic. We also have to name him... so anyone know any good elf names? Mommy likes Noah or Noelle... feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions. hopefully we can name him before Christmas Eve when he goes back home till next year.

So back to the big snow... here was daddy yesterday cleaning off the Nissan.

And here is what our neighborhood looked like in the afternoon when Mommy went to get the mail.

Oh and big shout out to Uncle Todd..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
