December is oh so busy but so much FuN!

The Great Elf Hunt

12 days to Christmas Countdown

Gracie got a letter from Santa's Elves this year that she has been so good that she has earned herself a great elf hunt. So each morning she gets a clue on her stocking. Then she has to figure out the clue and go find the prize for that day. She has loved it so much and is pretty good with these clues. I thought Kelt might be a little old and we dont have him all the time but he says to me, Linds will you email Santa and ask him if I can have a hunt. LOL So even though I know he knows better I made him a hunt and took all the stuff over to his moms. He is so funny. So here is where we are at so far:

On the 6th day of Christmas my Elf Friends sent to me

6 Geese a mounted

5 Wedding Rings

4 Bird Houses

3 French Toasts

2 Snow Boots

and a prize in the tree....

Toast clue...so her prize was by the bread :)

Getting so BIG!

Happy St. Nicholas Day

We get St. Nicked every year from a special someone...they knock on the door and run and leave us a bunch of stuff for the kids and goodies. The kids look forward to it every year :)

Gracie playing with her gifts

This is what I get when I leave Faith home with daddy! LOL He used to do the same thing with Grace. I dont really get it...when she has drawers full of jammies and he acts like the only thing he can find is his socks :)

The kids caught wind from their cousins that if you put your boots out on the porch Santa's elfs will put a prize in them. HMMMM I found this at like 10 at night and was like ok prize anyone got any prizes handy...LOL

Christmas Cookies!!!

Faith with brothers Elf. Ok so another situation where she is left with dad and I come upstairs and find this :)
