Last few days of Cookie 2015

I have to say, I'm a bit :: cough cough :: proud of a couple of these.  Now I'm not one of those mom's that do these elaborate Pinterest shenanigans planned out for every day.  Most days it's "OMG the elf didn't move .."  Some of the mornings - I would bust out of bed and go grab the elf and hide it behind my back, hope the child awake did not 1: see the elf hadn't moved, 2: see me grab him.  Oye.  But I only missed moving him one day (and I had asked one of thy older male child things to move it - and they didn't) ...  And even though we weren't making parachutes or building him wings ...  we came up with a few things that I think were pretty cool, like the feeding tube one, the blocks... yeah.   And if any of my other children read this, please understand that was all a lie.  I don't move Cookie at all.  It's all Elf Magic ...  I just, ya know.. help a little.  Give him ideas.



He made up for not moving the day before - him and Santa had some fun ...

Riding a horsey ....

Hanging out in a big huge gift bag....

Kids got some Star Wars suckers....

This was Cookie on Christmas Eve, he leaves on Christmas Morning when Santa comes to drop off gifts ....

"Walk with me daddy"

Walk alongside me, daddy
and hold my little hand.
I have so many things to learn
that I don't yet understand.

Teach me things to keep me safe
from dangers every day.
Show me how to do my best
at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand
to guide them as they grow.
So walk alongside me, daddy -
We have a long way to go.
