"Is it Christmas yet?" Patrick asked us all month. "How many more minutes?" We marked the time with sweet holiday activities like searching for our elf on the shelf Leon, decorating the tree, attending the Christmas Parade in Old Town, and doing holiday crafts. Our tiny dancer Madeline enjoyed swaying and bopping to the sounds of the season and was thrilled when Donald arrived home with a twinkly lighted snowman for the front porch. We turned him to face in so she can stand on the couch and wave out the window at him.
We capped it all off with Patrick's epic performance in the Abracadabra holiday pageant. This year Patrick's class was assigned to be trees and donkeys. Patrick however decided he was a horse, and the unflappable Ms. Nathalie said "just go with it." So five donkeys a very cranky horse, and it turned out, Donald, sat in the front of the church and hee-hawed on cue. We went immediately from church to the CVS minute clinic and diagnosed our horsey's crankiness: double ear infection. Antibiotics in hand, we turned our attention once again to final preparations and counting the minutes until Santa's highly anticipated arrival.
