Buddy

 These kids LOVE Buddy. Buddy brought us a reindeer this year. The plan was to love him and hug him, and give him enough power to become a REAL reindeer. Well, Leah was up at 11pm one (school) night crying about she didn't want Joy (her name) to go away. So, she wrote Santa a letter, and the good news is that she will come back each year.

 This year, the favorite activity of Buddy was when he put himself in a glass jar. Our girls carried him around all day. He went to dance class, Target, Yoga, and the Meijer curb side check out. He watched Christmas movies and got to see the girls whole world. They LOVED it.

 The other great thing that Buddy did was take pictures while the girls were sleeping. He did this a few years ago, and both kids really wanted him to do it again. Leah sleeps like a hoarder.
