It's Donder. The reindeer were named in the original "Twas the Night Before Christmas" for the first time. I think Donner came after the song "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reinder" became popular. Donner is easier to sing than Donder! :) Isn't homeschooling filled with interesting facts? We studied all about Rudolph when Wyatt was in Kindergarten. :)
One of my favorite gifts was a doll house. Still have it. I keep meaning to fix it up and give it to the girls.
