Then in 6 days he's flying to Washington for a weeks vacation there & in Canada. He has lost 84 lbs, exercised til he's lean & mean, and looks fabulous. Just the Christmas inspiration I needed today.![]()

   I've really put a lot of thought into my dd's elf on a shelf this year.  Sis named her Sparkle and she'll be making her grand reappearance on Thanksgiving night.  This year I thought Sparkle could bring small gifts with her. Card games, little toys,  etc.  This morning I ordered a melting snowman kit.  I thought it would be cute with a sign that says 'Let's build a snowman'.  I also bought an American Girl doll school book.  I thought it would be cute if Sis woke up with Sparkle teaching one of her dolls.  She might even bring her new school supplies direct from the North Pole.  These are just a few ideas.  I am open to suggestions.
