Remember when I said it was going to be a crazy week...well that was no joke! It was a great week...just jammed pack with fun...hence the lack of posting again.
So let's once again catch up, shall we?

Santa Elfy had some extra eyes on us Tuesday.
Some last minute errands with this girl while the boys were at school. Evan had an after school play date so we had some extra time for errands and house cleaning...which was totally needed!
Dinner/homework/activity time...lots to do during the few hours after school!
Our activity tonight was to talk about scriptures that fit with Christmas symbols.
Then after the kiddos went to bed {well they may have been bribed with cookies for breakfast to stay in their rooms...totally a great arrangement made by all} I had a ladies only white elephant/cookie exchange/ugly sweater party at my house! It was a blast & I think everyone went home a winner ;)!

Elfy was doing a little coloring this morning...
It was Ellie & mine nannying morning...love this girl & how she likes to match me :). Love my new socks I got as my white elephant present!
After school we fit in a little coloring time before Wednesday night church with the kiddos!

Hold on to your seats...our Thursday was quite full!
It was Grinch Day for us! That means some things turn green on this day :)...Elfy at it again with our milk!
I actually made some green pancakes...yes, pancake making happened before school...be amazed...it doesn't happen often ;).
Lots of excitement this morning because we had our first actual on the ground snow of the season!!
Opening up How the Grinch Stole Christmas today...of course!
A few quick errands and a little baking and Ellie & I head in to lead Evan's winter party in his kindergarten class. It was a Grinch Party, naturally! {I totally did almost this same exact party when Avery was in kindergarten...there's nothing wrong with reusing parties :).}
Then more errands after Evan's party...we were on a snow boot hunt and went to two Walmarts and one Target trying to find the right snow boots for everyone! Phew. Then back home to whip up Avery's fruit kabobs for his party. And back to school at 2:00 for the all-school sing along and then to Avery's party.
Yes E&E get to enjoy going to more then one winter party as the younger siblings...they love it.
Ellie got in on a little photo booth action :).
Then as soon as we got back home after school they headed out to play in the snow before it got too dark. Ryan came home early and took them sledding at a park and for a nature walk. They loved it!
While they were gone with Ryan I had to whip out lots of sugar cookies for our party tomorrow...it was nice to get them done without little hands for once.
However my night wasn't done yet, after dinner I then headed out to a super fun MOPS leaders Christmas party and another white elephant exchange! Love all these ladies! I was definitely ready for bed after all that!

Today was the kiddos first day off of school for winter break! We started it off right because today was Polar Express Day! We planned a great play date at church with lots, and lots of MOPs friends who all came in their pjs too!
The kiddos got to do a cute snowman ornament craft, cookie decorating, and I read the Polar Express book. We love this yearly tradition!
Then why not continue the fun in our pjs...we headed out to a little lunch with our friends afterwards!
Then back home where the boys attempt to make a little snow path to sled down with the last remaining snow.
Ellie also had her last gymnastics class of this year and got a certificate that she is super proud of!
Oh and Elfy was excited about the Polar Express party too today!
We are now watching the movie and I don't think I will be moving from this spot for awhile...it is so nice to have a night of nothing!
