DAY 1: Markle Doodle....gets into the bread!

Sam played with Markle all day yesterday. He even played with him at the park and took a nap with him.

We told Sam that he had to leave Markle under the Christmas tree when he went to bed because Markle has magic in him and he wouldn't fly back to the North Pole until Sam fell asleep.

Sam fought sleep very hard...thinking that if he just closed his eyes, that that would be enough....well sleep eventually won out.

Sam woke up at 6 a.m. and the first thing out of his mouth....calling from the living room, "Mama, you need to help me find Markle. He's not under the tree."

Here is where we found Markle this morning.
