A thief among us

On Christmas morning, the boys woke up to a trail of candy canes, left by Santa, that led from their room down to the tree. They followed it down the stairs, picking them up as they went. After a quick discussion between the two of them, they decided to leave some for Sara. She LOVES candy canes, so it was an extra special treat to find when she woke up! She picked them up one by one until she couldn't possibly hold anymore. We gave her a bag to hold them, thinking she would forget about the candy! Wrong! She started opening presents with one hand! (picture to the right) As you can imagine, it wasn't the smoothest process around! We finally talked her into setting down the bag but that was short lived! She found something even more exciting...Grandma Linda had put a candy cane on every present! She walked around the tree taking them all off! Wrapped gifts, unwrapped gift, gifts for her and gifts for others...they were all fair game for the Candy Cane Thief!!! (last picture) The boys were really good sports about the whole thing. They let her steal them all, knowing they would get them all back!
