Elf on a Shelf

Here is a picture of Tiny Tim, our Elf on a Shelf.

He watches the boys all day, then reports to Santa every night,  on how the boys were for the day. Every morning, they find him in a new "lookout spot". On Christmas Eve, he flys away to stay with Santa, until next year.

Brayden loves Tiny Tim, some mornings he wakes up as early as 6am to find him.....lucky me!

Chandlers Holiday Party

Chandler's Holiday Party was alot of fun.

He read an essay in front of everyone!

He did a really great job!

He also played Spanish guitar with his classmates.

Pre School Play

Despite the snow, Brayden still had his pre school play. I will have to say....Brayden was the MOST ANIMATED child in his preschool play! It was so hilarious!

Youth Group Play

The boys had 2 youth group plays- they both did awesome!

Chandler was behind the scenes- the stage help. Brayden was the letter "B"

he had about 4 lines to memorize- he did so well!

They did so well, we had tears in our eyes.

We were so proud.

Trees & Reindeer Food

Every year the boys decorate their Christmas trees for their bedrooms. Truly, we put more effort in these, then we do our big tree! This year, they both got new toppers for them, a new star for the top!

Brayden's tree is hilarious....look at all the bulbs on the bottom in a straight row. He looks so proud!

Chandler made his tree like the tree on The Grinch. He decorated it, then bent it way over. Very creative!

Here is a picture of Brayden & Riley, making Reindeer Food for their friends, classmates and family....Glitter & Oats!

Weekend Away with Girlfriends

Lunch & Making Wreaths with Friends

Busy day..

Today was busy! We went to Church, then to lunch, then the boys went with my brother then they went to youth group....while I- went to make lights for a friend of ours that recently passed away, Liz'z Lights. I was so glad I was able to make it.

This picture doesnt do them justice, they look alot better lit up. But truly, that doesnt matter, they were for a good cause....

For Liz, who is in Heaven now.

After Laura and I got to go out to dinner...it was so nice to relax & have time together!

After, that we went to my dear friend Kellys..Surprise Birthday party!! It was so nice to celebrate her.

I cant believe we pulled it off!

Kelly is an amazing person & friend. She is someone I truly thank God for bringing in to my life....She is one of my many blessings!

Happy Birthday Kelly! Love ya!
