It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I love the annual tradition of listening to Christmas music and setting up a Christmas tree. Elliot was actually somewhat helpful this year, and his enthusiasm made it extra fun.
Annie was equally enthusiastic but not at all helpful

At least she's adorable
Our big win of the season was when we went to a pancake breakfast with Santa at the clubhouse, followed by a pancake dinner with Santa at the church. We really just crammed in a year's supply of pancakes in a single day. If that isn't in keeping with the Christmas spirit, I don't know what is 😄😄
Annie was not a fan of Santa.
Our awesome neighbor Sara has a magical North Pole Mailbox. I had Elliot write a letter and put it in the box, and she put one in for him to pick up a few days later. Pretty awesome!
Pretty good for a not quite 4 year old
You can see where he lost steam with the "I have been very good." I took over with the green marker.
