All that time in the hospital means there have been requests to create an elevator

remembering that they are going upstairs to floor number 4 to visit the baby.

Then there was tonight with an evening full of Santa play

complete with his hat and beard (from his gnome costume), 

a tie (I have no idea why),

a pillowcase full of toys to deliver,

and I was even coaxed into setting out a plate of cookies for this Santa character.

The other night (during the same game) Henry was Buddy the Elf (yes we showed him the movie Elf) and their bunkbed was the sleigh.
