The kids were thrilled to discover that Charlie has also returned to our house. He was in their bathroom the first day and reading a book to his friends today. He is always up to some kind of trouble!
Taking a relaxing "bubble bath" in mini marshmallows:
This morning Charlie was spotted on the fireplace, reading to his friends:
Carter played outside while Evan and I put up the lights. He was cold when we got inside, so a good cup of hot cocoa warmed him right up!
The kids also received their Santa videos. Ryan told me he expected to be on Santa's naughty list because "it is just so hard to be good all the time", but when he received a "watch" and found out he has to work really hard on his behavior, (yet was still on Santa's good list), he was in tears. I don't think it surprised him, but wasn't what he wanted to hear. Hopefully it will be a motivator to work on better behavior - specifically towards Carter!
