Our very own Mr. Elf

This is Mr Elf. Santa sent him to our house on Dec. 1 to keep an eye on Kayli and Tyler, to make sure they are being good. Every night he goes back to the North Pole to tell Santa how they have been. Each morning Mr Elf hides in a new place waiting for Kayli and Tyler find him. He has been helpful in reminding them to be good, because if they aren't he will tell Santa. It has been really fun having him at our house. It will be sad when he leaves our house on Christmas Eve, until he returns next year. You should all tell Santa you want an elf at your house next year. Your kids will love it!

Our Christmas Village

We set up our village last weekend. We think it turned out great. It is always fun to come up with new ideas and ways to set it up each year. Of course it is much better to see it in person. We had Tim's family over on Monday night, and made up an "I Spy" game to see who could find everything on the list first. It made it really fun and everyone really got a good look at it.

Let it Snow!

We had a great snow storm Saturday. It snowed all day. Kayli and Tyler were so excited to go out and play in the new snow. They got bundled up in their boots, hats, gloves, snowpants and coats. They had so much fun throwing snowballs, buliding a snowman, making snow angels and building a snowcastle.
