Day 13 – Patch’s Artwork: Patch must have been talking with all the other elves up North because I have seen a lot of them drawing on photos around people’s houses! He copycatted.

We went and saw Santa again this year. Brecken definitely wasn’t sure of him this year. Aubrey can be pretty shy too, but she was pretty eager to tell him what she wanted. A quick recap from last year: Aubrey wasn’t sure sure of him, but after some coaxing, she was willing to chat with him for […]
