Christmas at my house

Elena doing a somersault

Elena had asked for a pink troll from Build a Bear--which she got, along with clothes.  She took one look at the troll and said, "I don't want it!"  But she loved the clothes and we're all set to return the troll to Build a Bear and exchange it for another pet of her choosing.

Nathan loved his Star Wars suitcase and books and took Elena aside to tell her she'd "hurt Yenna's feelings" and that she should want a troll!  But at four, almost five, you know what you want and what you don't want and a troll, it turns out, doesn't fit the bill this particular Christmas.

I had to admit, seeing it myself, that it did verge a bit on the creepy side.

What saved the day was a pegasus jewelry box--with which she was thrilled.

It's been a wonderful day!
