Phinney is Back

Every year our elf Phinney comes on december 1st and stays with us until Christmas Eve. Ali counts down to when Phinney comes more than she counts down to christmas. Phinney comes to watch that they are good, and ali gets to ask him questions and he answers them with candy. Over the years they have become good buddies, and this year Cam even got so excited when he got here. I love the Magic of Christmas!!
