Flying Reindeer

We put up the Christmas tree this morning and buried in with all the decorations was an inflatable reindeer that Finley got last year.  I blew it up and Finley wanted to ride it.  I bet she thought it was going to be like Rody, the toy that her friend Wyatt has.  Sadly, the reindeer is not as supportive as Rody.  Then Clifton had a genius idea, maybe too genius.  He told Finley that reindeer don't walk like Raffers, they fly with Santa.  And she was off!

Finley did countless laps around the house, Christmas tree and even up to her room for naptime.  She kept saying "Again!"  She loved it.  Pure joy!

Finley's fever is gone, thank goodness. She is still pretty snotty, but I am so relieved the fever is gone.  And the best part is her appetite is back.  It was so frustrating to give her snack after snack and her not eating a single one.  Not even a cookie snack, which is beyond comprehension.  I am just happy she is well again.
