december daily 1

If you haven't gotten enough of our daily life in November...you're in luck ;)...

I will be documenting the 25 days until Christmas in my blogging version of my December Daily.  Tune in to see what Elfy is up to and our Advent "activity" for the day.  I {love} this time of the year so want to stop and cherish it as much as possible!

On the first day...

The 1st day of December is always extra special because it is Evan's birthday!  It is also the day Elfy shows up!  Man, Evan must be extra special to have Elfy show up ON his birthday!

Elfy showed up today with a note to the kiddos, wearing a ninjago mask {in celebration of Evan's birthday party}, and brought the kiddos a football because he told them it was his favorite sport to play at the North Pole.  We were so excited to see Elfy again...we always miss him!

Ellie didn't want to take the picture with Elfy...she said she wanted to take a picture with her baby...so here you go...

Our Advent activity for today was just to celebrate Evan's birthday...easy way to start the month!

We decorated our last, real Christmas tree today with the family and Grandmommy got to read their first Christmas book to them!

We went to Bass Pro with G&G and Kassi.  The kiddos got to see Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas.  The first year that no one was afraid of the man in red!!!  Avery told him he wanted the new Skylanders, Evan said a trampoline, and Ellie told him princess lights {don't know where this came from...if someone wants to give Santa a hint of where princess lights are sold let me know and I will pass it on!}
