More Elf on the Shelf

Ernie's been busy around here....


One morning he brought the boys breakfast from the North Pole!



This morning he and Woody got in a snowball fight :)

Our Christmas Tree

Meet Ernie....

Our Elf on the Shelf!

I have heard about him for a couple years now on a few blogs that I follow and this year we decided to have one in our family as well. He comes to your house from Santa, you get to name him and then every night he flys back to the north pole to report on everything he saw. Then the next morning he is in a new spot and the kids have to find him. Here he is our first morning up on a shelf with binoculars spying on the kids...


I can't wait to see what crazy things Ernie does this holiday season :)

Butterfly Wings

I bought these wings for Addy a while back to start adding girl play costumes to our collection. I've put them on her a few times for fun but this last week she has been asking, she either brings them to me or points and she "eh, eh", for us to put them on her all the time! I love it!! While I was blowing drying my hair this morning she came into the bathroom with them on and wanted me to read this book to her. Such a funny little girl :)

Syracuse Christmas tree lighting

Tonight we went to the Syracuse Christmas tree lighting. I'd like to say it was all fun but that's not the case, Adelyn was fussing the whole time since it was after her bedtime and the boys were wondering why we had to listen to 297 songs before they would light the darn tree. But once it was lit they were all excited to see it and then we had to fight traffic, well traffic for Syracuse, to get home. I'm glad we went though, I love Christmas time and huge Christmas trees :)

Veterans Parade

We went to a Veterans Parade a couple weeks ago and I forgot to post the pictures. I didn't get many because my camera battery died but I did get these pictures of the boys. They're so sweet!

Turkey cookies

We made a bunch of these this weekend, yummy!
