A CASE of MAGIC: Ten on Tuesday

1. Yes it's been a bit since I have blogged and the first week of December is almost history. We have been busy with everyday life and dealing with sicknesses (all of us have fallen, and currently Rylan is battling although the cough from 2/4 family members still resignates in our home..). We had a wonderfully happy and joyous Thanksgiving and now the seasonal bright lights glimmer and shine throughout our home. The gingerbread train is made, packages are wrapped and Frosty the Snowman movie is a frequent visitor on our TV screen. So although life has it's ups and downs, it is still very much good.

2. Makenna Claire is all about the countdown to the big Christma Day and wakes up eagerly every morning to see where Marty, our little ~~spy~~ elf has landed (Does an elf live on your shelf?). She opens her daily present (a Christmas book) and adjusts the advent calendar. Then our morning can begin. The magic..that IS what it is all about.

3. We are going to register MC for kindergarten this week. Really? It can't be time already.. I am so not ready for this...

4. Makenna Claire's Santa wish list has been consistent for the last month. Two dogs, and two cats. Pretend ones that is, and very thankfully! I guess having a real dog to care for and Nana's pups and kitties aren't enough for this animal loving, caring little girl. Good thing Santa has already wrapped this and put it in his sleigh for delivery.

5. His sister is growing up and so is this little guy. They both have very independent, self driven spirits.

6. Meet Ned.. he is the newest member of our house thanks to the wonderfully creative gift giving friends, The Bogges. A Muppet WhatNot, hand selected and developed by Scott himself, Ned is thoroughly enjoying the craziness of our household and comes out for many special appearances.
