December 1st all the buzz was about Crimpus Fruitloop. You remember him, right? He is our little elf friend that visits our home during December. It is a fun little tradition we started three years ago and the kids were thrilled that he returned this year. In case you have forgotten, he hangs out all month and every night he hides in a new place and the kids wake up and immediately try to find CF. <Update> It is getting more difficult to find good hiding places for our Elf friend.
This year, G is way more into CF than H. She wakes up and immediately searches him out, and talks about him all day, “Can Crimpus see me now?” H still plays along and continues searching for CF every morning with his sis. I know it won’t be long before these fun traditions will seem childish to them, I hope it won’t be too soon. Kip and I really enjoy creating these fun memories with them and it will be sad when the magic ends. <UPDATE>
Gillian, “Mom, his face looks like plastic, is it plastic?”
Mom, “It does look a bit like plastic, doesn’t it? Maybe it is because he has to ‘freeze’ in position as soon as we wake up!” <YIKES> She is good!!

I love that G and H are so into these things. The other day she was so excited to show me that CF was in her room! And when he was in the dining room, she stood there pondering if he had something orange in his mouth. It was precious! Mr. H is sweet for going along, what a gentle heart he has!! Great stories, I always enjoy them!
