    That's magic WTXDaddy. What a great Daddy you are. Proof (if proof was needed) for your daughter that Santa really does exist :smt111

    I miss the days when we used to have 'evidence' of Santa visiting our children. So pleased to see that someone keeps up the tradition WT!! :stew1:

    Oh my, what an excited little girl your daughter must have been to see all the evidence. Looks like Santa was very good to her.

    Looks like Rudolph entered through the front door also. Highly incriminating evidence :)

    HO HO HO!!! Great ideas...how did you do the bootprints by the hearth (I'm guessing it's not snow)??? We go through great efforts for our kids at the library where I work...it's fun being Santa's helper at this time of year!

    very good ideas...we used to have deer in the yard but the kids were all grown by then...we had evidence that you really don't want to find all over...LOL I bet she had a wonderful Christmas by the looks of it...

    The boot prints are actually some sandals I have with interesting tread. I put them into the ashes in the fireplace & then knock them on the hearth to leave the print. The hoof prints are made by my mixing up some mud & painting them with my fingers. It's cold in the middle of the night on your fingers!
