Great Grandma Margaret and Great Grandpa Donald sent (spoiler alert!) all of our grandkids cute stuffed animals wrapped around soft fleece blankets. Hannah devised a scavenger hunt, starting with a clue that lead the gang to Chloe's prize, and working up kid by kid. Each clue was a little trickier, based on that child's age. Sam's was in a place Harry Potter once lived (cupboard under the staircase) and Patrick's was "posted,"outside in the mailbox. It was a great way to start the day and to keep the kidlings entertained until brunch was ready to eat and packages were ready to be opened.

on a different note: Leslie You did good! we watched the Simpson College Hallelujah Chorus flash mob and it was fantastic. My daycare kids came running to see what that music was. Here are their comments:
Cole age 3: that's pretty good and it's not scary cause she didn't put any monsters or spiders in there.
Kaden age 5: That's really nice, it could be a Christmas song.
Kady age 3: That's a pretty church, but my church doesn't have any stuff like that.
Claire age 3 : She makes the bestest song, it's really pretty. We sing that in our church, but it don't sound like that.
Ryleigh age 20months: she squealed, spun in circles and laughed.
Cruz age 7 months: he was tired and fussy but when I 0started playing it he stoppped fussing and just watched it ( he did not go to sleep)
I got a kick out of their comments and thought you might like a childs version.
see all of you for Christmas
