Ethan absolutely loved seeing what Snitch had got up to, so we decided to continue the tradition. With a second child in the house, Santa sent us a second elf to keep an eye on the kids. I am not sure how Sparkles became her name; it does sound kind of “elfish” and goes well with the name Snitch.
After the panicked mornings last year, I decided I was going to be more prepared. So, I drafted a list of 24 activities that the elves could do. It went “sort of” to plan, except for the days I was away for work and Dad took over. All in all, the kids knew no different and absolutely loved it!
