It’s finally December! It feels as if we’ve waited for this month forever. Holiday cheer is in full swing at Casa Almanza. We now have our very own friendly elf. His name is Alfie, and he has been having a ton of fun. We first found Alfie on the shelf with a nice note for Gigi and Bash. He’s since taken a bubble bath, donned his favorite ugly Christmas sweater, baked cookies for the kids, spread some holiday cheer under the mistletoe and began writing letters to Santa. We also did our traditional trip and photo with Santa. The kids asked for a T-Rex and some cookies. Hopefully Alfie is giving the Big Guy good reports on Bash and Gi. They are having a wonderful time counting down to Christmas.
