For some reason it just tickles me to see the kids run down the porch steps to catch that big yellow bus.
We have a tradition that on St. Nicolas Eve if the kids set out their shoes, his elves will leave a present or surprise for them to find when they wake in the morning. Some years it's been an ornament or a color book. This elf was lucky she even remembered to leave anything at all!
I spent the afternoon stringing garland and lights. Elmers had it all rigged up with hooks and light plugs so all I had to do was fasten on the garland and lights, plug the cords into the lights on the porch ceiling and flip a lightswitch next to the door to turn them on. Genius!!!

Cute! I love the lights. And I love that tradition with the presents from the elves. I need to start doing that. who doesn't want more reasons to get/give presents!
I love the photo of the kids running to catch the bus. That would warm my heart too, it's so Norman Rockwell. I can't wait to see your new home. I thought the elf came on the night of the 6th, whoopsi. Oh well, Emma won't know the difference. Is that first photo of the banister in your house or just a photo you liked? It's very porofessional looking.
