Rudolf and snow

Last week a Reindeer decided to visit our house during Advent.

My girls and I are involved in a lot of concerts during December and at two of them we played 'Rudolf the Red nose Reindeer'.  Build a Bear workshop has issued a Reindeer with a red nose to commemorate 50 years since the stop-frame animation film was released and I bought it as a joke to go with the song at one of these concerts.  The Sasha babies and Reuben decided to get involved - after all the sleigh needed a passenger or two.  We found a surprising amount of Snow/Rudolf related items in our toy collection.

The little sleigh scene we set up at one of our concerts recently

Rudolf's nose lights up.  Jasper the husky also came from Build a Bear (a few years ago)

The silver bells on Rudolf's back were put there by one of the concert goers (they got tangled while we played Sleigh Ride when everyone in the audience was shaking bells).

The Sasha babies and Reuben have been looking after our cloth Advent calendar this week, I think they may change outfits closer to Christmas day.
