Days of Christmas, part 8

What started like this ...

Ended like this ...

The green oozing from Trace's mouth is a result of the two bags of holiday M&Ms that were all wrapped up (along with a box of candy canes which were broken out after dinner tonight).

Alysse is giving a little love to her new singing, giggling, shaking friend. Each of the kids got an animal that sings a holiday song. Having a dog obsession, Trace loved his ear flapping canine which I have to agree is too cute for words.
