Saying 'Good bye' - Day 24

Kyler always wakes up first... McKenna woke to find Kyler standing over her with crocodile tears running down his face. "Cocoa's leaving," he said. I expected tears from Carson... but didn't expect that even I would feel a tiny heartbreak this morning. Cocoa's brought so much magic this month--that's it's just sad to see it end. The kids loved that Santa suspended Cocoa's magic long enough for them to touch Cocoa for the first time to say 'Good-bye.' (However, Ashton still refused to touch him!) Thank you, Cocoa, for the surprises, the mischief, the laughs, the love. We'll miss you and look forward to seeing you next year... all a little taller, a little wiser, (and hopefully some a little thinner... Ahem). It's been a Christmas we'll never forget.

 Merry Christmas Cocoa!

We love you!
