    I loved seeing how Elise was able to play. K and E played guesstures with all of us Christmas Eve night as well. It was so cute to see them act out what we had whispered in their ear. I think my favorite was “laugh”. E threw his head back and tried to “ha-ha-ha” quietly, everybody started laughing so much that they forgot to say the word.
