Christmas stuff!

We decorated our Christmas tree and hung our stockings on December 1st!

I made this advent calendar to make sure we do all the fun things I want to do this month.

Making Christmas cards!

We were using smelly markers and Tyler kept coloring on his face when he tried to sniff them.

When Megan was here for Thanksgiving, she brought coloring pages and turkey crayons for the kids. We didn't get to use them so we used them on Sunday because we had our own turkey dinner that night. Since we're leaving for VA the day after Christmas, we didn't want to make a big dinner that night so we did it early!

Elf on the Shelf

Our Elf, Jack arrived last week. He's been goofing around every night ever since! Here's some of the things he's been up to...

He arrived with the same North Pole breakfast he brought last year,
Snow covered donuts and hot chocolate with icebergs.
He also brought reindeer kisses ad Christmas socks for the kids.  

This one is hard to see, so here's a close up.
He replaced their stocking with their underwear...or diaper for Tyler.

Bryan thought this looked like a pretty good lunch.
He said he wouldn't mind eating that whole bag of sugar!

 

Bryan and Jesse funnies

On Friday after Thanksgiving, we went to in and out for lunch with everyone. That night Bryan said the prayer at dinner and he said, "thank you for the opportunity to go to In and Out today" Derek and I both tried not to laugh!!

I was reading with Jesse yesterday and he asked me why there were mysteries at the end of the sentences. He was pointing to the question marks.

Thanksgiving Day

This is what happened to my van on Thanksgiving. :(

 

I didn't take any other pictures that day. :(
