My wrapping elf

This year I believe we have more recycled presents under the tree than new....thanks to our special wrapping elf, Colton. He will take anything and I mean anything and wrap it. I've gone through more tape in a few weeks than I did a whole year!

Snow fall of December 11, 2010

So this would be the morning that Doug decides to go into work...on a Saturday....never works Saturdays....thought he'd better go in because they were so busy at work and his drivers would be out in the snow. And he gets stranded! So the boys and I are stuck at home...safe and cozy with hot chocolate-yummy! When Doug finally gets home the next day this is what we find opening the garage door..
Canon is wondering?????

So Doug heads out...
Caden heads out.....
And the rest of us stay in....

Santa picture 2010

The boys could not wait to go and see Santa...well I personally think they could not wait for the goody bag, cookies and juice that the bank gives them after seeing Santa. Our bank hosts Santa every year. We get a nice 8x10 print out and the digital file emailed to us-so much better than waiting in line for an hour and spending $12 at the mall for a 5x7. We only had to wait for 5minutes to see him-yea!

Christmas Traditions and decor

We started out December with our daily book unwrapping, which has been a favorite. Also we have the little advent stockings with an activity, scripture and Hershey Kiss-Canon's favorite. As a matter of fact if you look in all the stockings there may or may not be any kisses left. Canon figured out that they were in there and now they are not! I used to leave the stockings up but after continuously picking them off the floor, I've given up and have put them away after each day.

I also believe next year will be the year I get to get a new decor and color scheme thanks to my youngest, sweetest, gentlest little boy who thinks every ornament makes a great ball to throw. He doesn't just drop them, he gets air, height, and distance.

Little vent cover thief

We have a vent cover thief on the loose. At one time during the day there were 5 vent covers missing on our main floor. I hate to think of what may have been thrown down them.....maybe a missing nuk or two? The only suspect I have is this one here but he is so adorable that I cannot believe it would be him...what do you think?
