It's Confirmed

So, I was baking cherry chocolate cookies this morning and while I was warming up the oven, what to my wondering eyes should appear?  It wasn't a miniature sleigh or eight tiny reindeer.  It was a little small rodent scurrying from under the oven.  Said friend then made a beeline to under the dishwasher and has not been seen again.  Apparently Aidan was not seeing things the other day.  

When I exclaimed that I just saw "it", Raelea immediately picked up the broom and said, "I'll kill it, Mom!"   That's my girl!  Not afraid of anything!

I'm so glad that tonight "not a creature will be stirring."
