He's Baaack!!!

Look who joined us for dinner tonight.



When Colin walked in the door, I told him someone would be joining us for dinner.  He sheepishly grinned and asked "Who?"  He went over and his face lit up when he saw the elf.  I think he must have forgotten his name because he called him "the elf."  Totally understandable considering he named him "Poof Guy" last year.

Poof Guy left Colin a letter that Colin was very eager to read.  He listened very attentively as I read.


Then the questions began.  Was he sitting there when I got home?  Did he already have that food?  Does he have a fork?  Can Daddy touch him?  Is today Christmas?  Is tomorrow Christmas?

Meanwhile Sawyer couldn't stop looking at him and grunting and pointing.  I learned really quickly that I'm going to have to make all the hiding spots up high because a 1-year old doesn't understand the no touching thing.

For inquiring minds, Poof Guy had a healthy sandwich with lettuce, red peppers, cheese, and bacon.  Sounds delicious, no?


Here's hoping Poof Guy works his magic and we have 23 peaceful days ahead!
