Ryder got to go on a Santa Train this weekend with Nana, Miss Debbie, and his friend Christian.
I got the whole event narrated through text messaging. Here they are on the train going to see Santa & Mrs. Claus!
I guess after they got on the train to head back, Ryder saw Santa walking and was saying here “Santa, come back, I need you!!” (he must have forgot to tell him about his newest Christmas request…a space station!)
Ryder loved riding on a real train, he told me all about driving over the water, and how it’s really loud outside of the train but once you get in it’s fine, and about the conductor and …well you know, he’s pretty much an expert on trains now!
Ohhhhhhhhh DOODLE….
Meet our Elf…on the Shelf! His name is Doodle. Well he’s not exactly sitting on a shelf today, he’s hanging by our stockings. Let me rewind. Ryder & Maisy got a package at our doorstep the other day, FROM SANTA!!! He sent this Elf all the way from the North Pole to keep an eye out and make sure they are behaving, because each night he returns to the North Pole to report to Santa. This is how Santa determines whether they belong on the Naughty list or the Nice list. He comes back to a new spot in our home each morning, and Doodle sees everything! (I believe we currently have one child on the naughty list and one on the nice list…just my guess!)
Yes, the naughty kid will still be receiving presents. Lots of them. Way more presents than the nice kid. Hmmm…
OH-WHAT-FUN we’re having with all of these Christmas festivities! TWO more weeks :)

Very cute Doodle elf! That is a cute traditon to start but I agree with you about the fact that they are technically on the naughty list more than the nice list but they still get tons of presents! Santa can't really bring himself to rob them of Christmas! That is also really neat Ryder had that train experience.
