Day 7: Peeky left us his movie…but, decided to watch it for himself with a little midnight snack! Quinn was so excited to have his own copy of the great little show we’d seen on TV.



Day 8: Where’s Peeky? He thought he’d trick us with his great disguise, but we found him.

Day 9: Elves need baths too. And, baths are always more fun with toys!

“It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.” ~Charles Dickens

Last Friday night, we had a party in our old neck of the woods! So, we decided to go a little bit early so that we could visit THE Santa!! Quinn was SUPER excited and had been planning on what to tell him that he would like for Christmas. And, the jury was still out with Nash…it was either going to be fabulous or a complete nightmare.

When we arrived, Santa was feeding his reindeer. So, we were the first in line to see him when he got back. Nash {illegally} explored around Santa’s little room while we dined on yummy coffee and snacks from the bookstore’s coffee shop. It was hard to be patient, but we managed.

About 10 ‘til 4, we all beamed when we say the Big Guy enter the room. And, in true Santa fashion, he loved and LOVED on my little guys. Hugs, kisses, “I love yous” and answering all of Quinn’s questions about his reindeer. He truly is SUCH a precious man!!! He spent majority of the 10 minutes playing with my two little guys. And, he even said, “Hurry Momma and take lots of pictures, because ‘they’ won’t let you once you get inside!” Nash wasn’t even scared and gave Santa lots of sweet smiles. {You’ll have to watch the video to see some of our interaction with him!…I’ll upload it soon! It’s so sweet!}

And, as soon as all of the workers appeared, it was our turn to sit on his lap. Quinn was eager and had no problem cozying up! And, Nash, didn’t protest either. We laughed and laughed as we watched Quinn play with Santa’s beard (the WHOLE time) and tell him exactly what isle at Target to find the Rise of the Snakes Ninjago Lego red motorcycle set with Kai….and on and on and on. And, he also informed Santa that Nash would like a ball pit. Santa told the boys that he wouldn’t make any promises but that he’d try his best!

I think Quinn would have stayed all day chatting it up with Santa. But, we chose our DARLING pics and went on our way. Afterwards, Quinn loved talking about his magical moment with Santa…and Matt and I couldn’t get over how much fun it was to watch them have so much fun!! We agreed that visiting Santa was one of our most fun parenting jobs! :) So magical!!! {Waiting patiently…}

Peeky’s Shenanigans (Days 1-4)

Ever since Peeky entered our lives, we have had some super magical mornings. Quinn IMMEDIATELY runs to our bedside in the mornings and asks if we can help him look. And, he’s always so excited to find that he is no longer at the place that he was the day before.

Take a look at what Peeky has been up to so far…I think he got some of the ideas from his friends…and, other ideas he comes up with ALL by himself! ;)

Day 1: Peeky put on a snazzy scarf, snuck into our fridge and made us some “Christmas Milk!” Thankfully, Christmas Milk tastes just as good as the regular kind, because we’re still drinking it!

Day 2: Why is Goliath so angry? Well, besides the fact that David defeated him, our sneaky little elf TOOK HIS SWORD! It went perfectly with his Ninja costume…and, the other Ninja guys were happy to play!
 



Day 3: Peeky and his Chef friend made a MESS in the kitchen. But, we weren’t too mad, because we had cookies for breakfast!! Thanks, Peeky!
  

Day 4: Peeky left Santa a little note on top of his list. Quinn was so happy to see that Peeky felt he should be added to the Good List!
