Alabaster's Report

Yesterday the mom and dad were acting like total Grinches! Santa, we need to find a way to remind them how special their kids are...we will think about it and let you know what we decide.

Some good behavior we witnessed:

• Jack made his bed all by himself for the first time ever!
• Sam cheered for his sister at her game (and cleaned his room)
• Emily helped clean without a grumpy attitude
• Ana read to her little brother at bedtime

The mom and dad were grumpy all day- even though the kids were actually pretty well behaved. They even made them clean instead of going to see your reindeer. GASP!! If anyone should be on the naughty list today it is the mom and dad.

We are lucky though, Jack brought us outside in the snow to play today! Boy, we wish the snow here was like the stuff at the North Pole. This snow here is C..O..L..D..! But we had fun. It's fun to get to do things with them. Staying home with the dog that can't fly gets boring sometimes. We want to have fun!

P.S. There are no Christmas cookies in this house yet. Can you believe that? We'll give them another day or so, but then we will have to get involved.
