He's BACK!!

This morning our Brown Eyed Girl found our little elf, Thomas, sitting in our Christmas tree. We weren't sure if he would be able to find us since we moved to a new house this year. Such a relief!

I am not sure Mr Blue Eyes remembered who Thomas was. His initial look was that of guarded fear quickly followed by a slight smile as he looked at Sissy for reasurance that this little red guy wasn't a large dangerous type of bug that would leap out of the tree and jump on his face.

Eventually with a little coaxing, he relaxed.

Well his facial expressions anyways... he might need a chiropractor by the end of the day.

After shouts and cheers, our little Brown Eyed Girl noticed Thomas was holding something.

Paper?

A note! A special note from Thomas.

Welcome back Thomas! We are so happy to see you! We look forward to all of your adventures and sneaky places we will find you each morning.

This mom is personally a little torn because while I look forward to the power you have over my children to be good for at least the next 24 days, I loath the 2 am panic that sets in when I will surely wake and realize that I forgot about you before going to bed....

Welcome back Thomas...
