The Adventures of Jess

Jess has been a BIG hit at our house this year and I couldn't be happier. On her first morning she was found eating some of Savannah's cereal that she hadn't finished while watching TV and she had brought us a note from Santa! Could a kids life get any better? The night before Savannah had to say goodnight to Jess and she was then up at 6 ready to find her somewhere in the house.
Day two we found Jess trying to brush her teeth with Savannah's toothbrush, she got such a kick out of this and just thought it was fantastic.
This morning Jess hid in the girls rooms on their play table in their flowers. Once again the girls couldn't have been happier to find Jess in their room.
What I've tried to do with Jess to make her a bit more special is I have her do things the girls have done that day or asked if she'll do. This last night Savannah had specifically asked if Jess would ever hid in their room so I made sure she did. It helps make it even more real for the girls because they really think she's listening to them and watching what they do. The way we are using Jess has been perfect for our little family and the girls really are in love with her. Its been so fun to see how excited they get and every night Savannah's made sure Jess will be visiting Santa and then coming back to the house. She can't wait to find her each morning and it really is making this Christmas season even more magical for us all.
