We pulled out the Christmas beaver.

I'm sure mum and the family (along with the Mills) will remember the beaver well. The Christmas beaver stems back from a long long Christmas ago when we took the Christmas Cruise down the Provo river and scared Daysa and Penny and Kate with tales of evil beavers jumping on to our boat.

Mum, you may have to find a replacement beaver soon! Zeb thinks it is absolutely the funniest thing he's ever seen. He'll laugh and laugh and laugh every time we make it chirp or sneeze or make whatever sounds toy beavers make. He'll hug it and kiss it and play with it until we take it away and hide it! I have no idea why. It's kind of a creepy looking thing- and the sounds it makes are way scary.

Ahaha! Oh the beaver! I remember you would tell Kate, Penny, and Days that the beaver lived under your bed. Haha.

That's awesome! i love it when my kids get attached to super weird stuff. Like how katie carried around that wool sweater for her lovey and taylor adopted a stocking cap for a while. Now he has his monkey blanket still, but he sleeps with this nutty stuffed animal monster thing that has one eye and arms and legs that are different lengths.

I love hearing about your Christmas traditions. Definitely original! Hope the tooth fairy left you some kind of pain killer for your tooth. Not sure how that works when you're pregnant.
