santa and 'her' elf

The kids wanted to play Santa today. So Kennedy is Santa and Reagan is an elf. We packed our bags with toys for our friends and delivered them to each of their 'houses.'

I put their friends in various places in the house for them to find. They would then sing a Christmas song to them and give them a toy.


Each friend needed two toys, one from each of them.


Picking out a toy to give.

She thought it was easier to find the right toy if she stuck her head in the bag.

Then once every friend had two toys, Reagan and Kennedy would go fill up their bags again while Swiper (Mommy) stole all the toys. Then they would make their friends happy again by singing and giving them new toys. We've done this three times so far. When Reagan laid down for her nap she said, "I wonder if Swiper will swipe all the toys again." Yep, he did.

We did something similar to this too! Our "sleigh" was a laundry basket and we attached ribbons to it and pulled it. I just had to smile when I saw that dog on the piano bench because we had a stuffed animal on a piano bench for his "House" too. I love the red sack.
