Does your shelf...

...have an elf? We adopted our elf right after Thanksgiving and he has been coming back to our house each day since. His name is Mr. Prickle Pants and each morning when we wake up he is in another place in our home. He listens to us all day and then flies back to the North Pole each night to report back to Santa Claus. On the first morning he was hidden and the kids looked everywhere for him. Every morning since Landry couldn't wait to go downstairs to find him.

Out with the old...

... and in with the new! I bought this chest in Caldwell a few years ago. I had it in our bedroom for a while and then we got new furniture (yea!) I thought it would be cute in Landry's room if it was redone. So, one day last month Logan and I had homeschool in the driveway so I could repaint it when the littles are at school.

Asleep in a Heep

Now this is a full bed. This little girl loves to snuggle with all her babies.

My Sweetness...

Just love this little boy

Big Brother, Little Sister

I love these shirts and I was so excited for the kids to wear them to preschool on the same day. I showed Layton and he (of course) said his was stupid because it would be embarrassing if people knew he was Landry's big brother. Sorry dude, we all know Landry...

...and her pose!

soccer and football season

Soccer season and football season came to an end and each got a trophy. Adam coached Layton's soccer team and their last game was in the pouring rain. The boys loved it.
Logan's last game got cancelled due to the rain but they still got their trophies and cupcakes.

Great seasons boys! I love watching you both.

Surprise from the Parker family

We came home to a surprise package on the front porch. It was postmarked from the Parker family in Germany. Marnie Parker is such a generous woman. We were thrilled to open it but waited until Logan got home from school. As soon as he did we tore into it.

Look at all these yummy treats. It was candy from Germany and a Christmas planner made by Marnie.

The kids' favorite part was the chocolate eggs with surprise toys inside. They each got 2 eggs.

Look how precious all these little toys are. They were all inside the chocolate eggs.

This was my favorite part. She sent me a necklace for my birthday that she had made. Such a doll! I LOVE it! Don't you?

We miss you so much and wish you all the best in Germany.

We Miss you...

Tutu cute twins

The girls got to come to the Operation Christmas Child party at Sis' house. Our group did 48 boxes! Yea! Landry was so proud of our boxes.
