Natalie and the tree

I didn't do a good job this year with taking pictures of the kids in front of the tree - mainly because it was sitting on top of the train table. These are some BAD ones of Natalie - but you CAN see a picture of our Elf, Joey, who is sitting on the art easel!  (Joey is the elf that visits us from around Thanksgiving until Christmas eve - he flies back to Santa each night to report on how the kids acted during the day.  When he comes back the next day, he's hiding in a new spot.  Rules are that no one can touch Joey or the magic will go away.  You can talk to him but Santa says he's not allowed to talk to you.  Ryan named our elf Joey.  Not sure why it's Joey, but it is.)  :)
