Helpers not so helpful....

Last night I wrapped a few gifts that I had gotten from the Black Friday adventure. I must not have secured my supplies quite well. This morning when I got up and stumbled through the house I almost tripped over wrapping paper rolls.
Imagine my surprise when I found the elves with scissors, tape and paper. They had cut snowflakes out of paper and they where scattered all around. Jingles was tangled in the scotch tape and the roll was empty.

Miss Holiday had opened a package of gift tags and had tagged herself all over.

These helpers made a huge mess but we love them anyway. Hopefully tonight they will be settled in with us and we won't have such chaos!

We got visitors!

Last night our friend Hopie wrote a letter, for her elf Ollie, to give to Santa. It went something like this:



Dear Ollie,

Addison and Kadence want elves, boy or girl, it doesn't matter and elves are really cool so I wanted to see if you could talk to Santa about getting them each an elf. I have already talked to their mom about this and she thinks it's a wonderful idea. She wants them to have their own so when they carry them places they can each play and take their own elf. PLZ WRITE BACK!

Love Ya Hopie!



What a precious girl and a sweetheart! We love you Hopie!



So today we went to our last Tgiving meal for this year and when we got back GUESS WHO CAME? Two little girl elves that will visit us til Santa comes with his sleigh to take them home! They even brought decorated trees, from Santa's shop, for the girls to put in their rooms.



We read their story and named them. Addison's elf is Jingles and Kadence's elf is Miss Holiday. This evening we went over to Mammie and Paw Paw's and Santa had sent an elf to watch over them too. His name is Christopher. So Santa has all kinds of little spies around our home. While we were Mammie and Paw Paw's Addison realized that she had left Jingles at home all by herself and Kady had remembered to bring Miss Holiday along. So of course when we got home Jingles had pulled balls off of the tree, gotten snowmen out of their place and messed up Addison's clothes. I guess Jingles was trying to teach Addison a lesson about leaving her home alone. I can't wait to see what these two mischievous elves get into tonight?

So much to be thankful for...

The pics really have nothing to do with the post. Just some Tgiving fun with food!

This year I list the top 7 things that I am thankful for:

1) I am thankful to belong to God's family and have him in my life.

2) I am thankful for my beautiful girls. They are a blessing and more than I ever imagined.

3) I am thankful for my Mother and Father. Their lessons have taught me to be so much more than their child, it has taught me to be a good person, wife and parent. (For the most part...HAHA).

4)I am thankful for all of the friends in my past, present and future. You all have made an impact on my life lessons.

5) I am thankful for the loved ones that are still with me on earth and I am thankful for those that I have lost but will see again one day.

6) I am thankful for all the moments that seem so insignificant but yet impact me so greatly.

At last but most certainly not least.

7) For my husband: HE IS - true, loving, supportive and my partner in life.

I left this for #7 and chose 7 "thankfuls" because this year, actually on Monday of this week, we celebrated out 7 year anniversary. People say it is only downhill from here but I have a feeling that things are gonna be looking up from here.
