Day 24 - Christmas Eve

Letter to the boys.  Today only, they get to play with him.  He also left them a fun surprise:

Magic Elf Seeds

Plant in sugar
Sprinkle with snow
Wait for the Magic
To see what will grow
Go to sleep tonight
And in the morning you'll know

Planting the seeds - can't wait to see what will grow!
