Storytelling
Pardon the shakey video. I was laughing too hard. Here is a boy with a story to tell.

Santa and the Reindeer
We saw Santa today! The kids sat on his lap and told him what they wanted for Christmas. Trav said he wanted a bell and Elliot said he would like whatever Santa wanted to give him. All I want for Christmas is these two smiling faces.
Afterward we went to the reindeer festival at the Issaquah Zoo. Elliot wanted to fit in so he wore his antlers.
We were literally the only customers there! But we got to feed reindeer.
Trav got his face painted. He was so happy to have a gold star on his cheek. Elliot opted to write a letter to Santa instead. Funny, he didn’t know how to open the mailbox when it came time to mail the letter. He’s never seen those old-tyme mailboxes that you open without a key!
Then they sat on some sleighs and listened to a story. We still don’t go to the zoo for the animals. But we got in a lot of running before it started raining!
