Special Delivery

Headed out to The Pole tonight with T's letter to Santa. Thanks T for getting that done and placing it in my bed. It has been safely delivered to The Jolly Guy and is currently under review. (I did happen to catch a glimpse at T's name on the list... looks like he's set on Nice right now! Way to go T!) This is the last week of school for C & T before Christmas break. I bet they'll be so excited to have a nice long break. Make it a good week boys!

While I was at The Pole, I picked up a game to bring back to play with my friends. It's a lot of fun. We play it quite often back home. I noticed tonight that Holiday Mom, Holiday Dad, and T were playing the new card games I brought them. Isn't Reindeer Rummy fun?! I love that game. I also love the Crazy 8's game as well. Hopefully my Holiday family will enjoy playing this game, too.

Playing Cards

Well my prank was a big success! The boys woke up and couldn't get dressed because I had swapped their clothes! I put all of C's clothes in T's closet and moved T's clothes to C's closet. Then I hid in T's closet to see his reaction. It was hilarious! What a great prank. Thanks Holiday Mom for moving all the clothes back to their correct location while the boys were at school.

It's hard to believe it's only 2 weeks until Christmas! I'm so excited! I noticed my Holiday Family has put up their second Christmas tree in the back room of their house. It's such a great tree. Just full of all sorts of special ornaments that C & T have made at school or ornaments that just have special meaning. I was very happy to see that they put the ornaments I have given to the boys each year on this special tree. It really made me smile.

Tonight we decided to take it easy. I brought some card games from The Pole for my Holiday Family, so we decided to give them a try. They are really very fun games. I hope my Holiday Family can use them during family game night sometime.

Sack Races

Tonight my friends and I had fun doing sack races. We tried to race around the entire downstairs in a giant loop, but it's a pretty big circle and we got tired. So we just decided to race from one end of the living room to the other. I won 2 races but Hippity-Hop won the most races. Which I guess isn't surprising since he's a frog! We all laughed and had lots of fun!

Playing A New Game

My night started off wonderfully! I woke up and found I had received a Christmas card from some of my dear friends who are also visiting elves!  Thank you Jingle-Jangle, Bertie & Merry for the card!  I see that my Holiday family has really started decorating for Christmas now.  They put up lights outside and set the Christmas tree up.  It's looking good!  I found a new game in the house which I'm sure was made just for me!  It's called ladderball and I had such fun playing it tonight with my friends. 

B-I-N-G-O

Well, back home at the Pole... Monday night is family game night.  I haven't had a family game night since I left to come to Ohio for the holiday... And I sure was missing it.  Back home, we play fun games like Uno, Sorry, and Monopoly but our FAVORITE family game is BINGO.  When I saw this Bingo game in the closet, I knew I had to get my friends together and make a "home away from home" family game night.  I wonder if my holiday family does a game night.  I haven't seen them do one since I've been here, but I know it's easy to get busy around the holidays.  It's important to have fun as a family... that's what makes the holidays so great after all.

And I even won a few games.

Deal Me In!

Well, I took the Doctor's advice and I have started to feel better.  Still have a sniffle, but I'm not feeling too bad.  The Doctor said it was probably just a 24 hour bug. 


My Holiday Family had a party Saturday night at the house.  I'm not sure what the theme was, but Holiday Mom was decked out in fancy jewelry and she had a big bow in her hair and her hair was sticking up in the front.  She kept saying funny words like "rad" and "tubular".  It sounded like everyone was having a great time eating candy (yum!!) and playing games.  After everyone left and my Holiday Family went to bed, I decided to play a little poker.  I'm not very good at it yet, but I was doing alright.  I had fun, and that's what matters!

 

And tonight  I made some beautiful snow angels on the dining room table.  I love making snow angels!



Fun and Games!

Well last night was a blast!  Me and the gang hung out all night playing Candy Land!  What a great game!  All about candy... my favorite thing to eat!  Everyone played at least one game, but when you saw us, Cowboy was sitting out just watching.  We had lemon heads and whoppers and candy corn, yum! 

 

I see that my family has decorated their Christmas tree and I must say, they did a much better job than I did!  Nice work Holiday Mom & Dad!  And the dining room table looks nice too.  Like a cozy place to enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate! Tonight I think I'll just relax and enjoy a nice long marshmallow bath.  I hope you boys have a nice day at school.  Write back to me!
