Another big first.

This time a first both for the girls and their parents. For the former, finding out that their behavior was just nice enough to win some goodies in a sock. And the other, experiencing their first season of aiding and abetting, and loving it more than the kids.

Note that those same stylish socks were actually worn by one of the elves later that morning. They may, one of these days, get back to their regular shape, but they will always be one quite unforgettable pair.

Now rationing and sharing all the 'sweeties' is proving to be a good challenge as well. The other big issue: we need to start talking about the easter bunny in terms of salt and sticks.
