Day 3...playing catch and the surprise!

Can you spot Snowflake?  Where o where is she?

Up high, in the hanging twirly thingamajig christmas decoration (I asked Ian what he calls it and he didn't really know either)

So,can you spot the other one?  

Oh, I was informed I'm not allowed to call Cinnamon "the other one" (Megan).

Up high, on the railing.  They were playng catch last night.

So...the surprise...

After I did some thinking about Christmas traditions (love!) and how I hope our kids will treasure these in years to come and perhaps have them in their own families in years to come, I wondered which house Cinnamon and Snowflake would visit when our kids had their own kids.  Since we have 4 kids, that'd be kind of hard.  Therefore, luckily, the elves had a solution!

Here it is!

Introducing....

Named by Austen...."Smarty"

and....wait for it...

Named by Mason..."PJ Sherwood".

Yep.

That's right.

Smarty and PJ Sherwood will now be gracing us with their presence along with Cinnamon and Snowflake.

Can anyone tell me why oh why my wonderful Third (who has been sick for 3 days with strep throat) would think of the name...PJ Sherwood for an ELF!?!
