Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Even if Jason couldn't spend it with us (or call or even email) we have a lot to be thankful for. I do hope he was able to remember all he has to be thankful for too.

Thanks to our friend Jen for sharing the holiday and great food with us. We felt so welcomed.

Then, after we got home, we found that an elf had arrived! Eli, that's what the boys chose since it starts with an E, has joined our family. He will be with us from now until Christmas to watch the boys and report their behavior to Santa.

He came with a story, telling of his assignment from Santa. Ethan read the book for us. Then we named him and I put him on the shelf so he could observe the boys for the evening. Only Moms and Dads can touch him though or he'll lose his magic.

Elliott keeps watching him and walking by him and telling him "hi", then tells me "I told that guy hi." :)

This is going to be a fun new tradition for us. I can't wait for the boys to wake up and find him tomorrow.
