There are some exciting things happening in our house right
now…like how every morning an elf, named Ralphie, magically appears to Joshua’s
surprise and delight.
I’m not 100% sure where Santa found this elf but he is full of shenanigans. At first glance, he appeared to be a mild mannered elf who was just sent to keep an eye on the boys and report back to Santa, but oh no, he had us fooled! On day 2 he was already up to no good snatching the chocolate syrup and drinking straight from the bottle. Joshua was not too happy about this. When he saw Ralphie was drinking all of his chocolate milk, he firmly (by firmly I mean in a voice just above a whisper without any anger in his voice at all) told us in his 3 year old way “Ralphie get Joshua angry.” At this point I couldn’t help but smile and be so proud of him for expressing his emotions through his words and not through actions. His anger quickly turned to happiness when he realized that Ralphie had already made him a glass of chocolate milk…phew!!
Yesterday, I was not 100% sure what sort of trouble Ralphie ran into on his way to and from the North Pole but he made a mess trying to get all of his boo boos taken care of. Joshua seemed concerned about the number of bandaids Ralphie required but we assured him that Ralphie was okay and on his way to feeling better.

As for this morning, well, I don't really know how to explain this morning. All I can say is our Christmas tree has a few extra ornaments on it that we did not add.
I wonder what surprise will be in store for us tomorrow!
