Hi everyone,
We are in full swing with the Christmas season. We have met with Santa at the mall and that went great, our best picture with Santa ever! The shopping is almost done for the kids, I say almost, because the way I buy for the kids, it is really never done. The tree is purchased and beautiful, the kids did most of the decorating! We have decorated cookies with friends and family arrives next week. The kids are of course crazy excited, Brendan wants an air hockey table and Madison wants an American girl doll.
This year we started a new tradition, with Charlie our very own elf on a shelf. I have thought this would be fun to do but worried that it would scare the kids. Madison has issues with the tooth fairy creeping so I thought that a elf that moves from place to place while you sleep would put her over the edge. Madison found out 2 friends had an elf, she investigated thoroughly and asked a ton of questions and finally decided she would like to invite an elf to live with us. We named him Charlie and the kids were very excited to find out where he was hiding this morning.
So with just 2 weeks left! Happy Holidays I hope you are enjoying the Holidays as much as we are!
