Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
It’s the second year for Gingerbread Elf to show up and he’s been pretty fun and clever! The boys love to see where he is each day and even Samantha loves to find him, point and yell “Elf!” 🙂
As always, my personal favorite…
The 3 cutest elves you’ve ever seen!
Thankfully Gingerbread Elf has had nothing but good reports to take back to Santa each day…mostly! 🙂
Elf adventures last year here.
Holiday happenings around here….
Maxwell had his Christmas program at school last week on Wednesday and Thursday. Sadly, I had to go to San Francisco for work and had to miss it. But, I was able to go to the dress rehearsal on Tuesday and had a front row seat!
Maxwell did great. He stood perfectly still and sang his songs just like he was supposed to. No surprise there!
Thankfully Robert was Super Dad while I was gone and got to the school early to get a good seat for the main event…
He also went to Maxwell’s class Christmas party and took all 3 kids to basketball practice! A HUGE thanks to him and, of course, Mrs. Susan for keeping things running smoothly while I was gone.
Other holiday fun…
Holly Jolly!!

What type of sandwich does Santa like? Peanut butter and Jolly!! hahahahaha!
Around here lately…
Birthday party for Spencer on Saturday…
and birthday party at the same place for Maxwell on Sunday!
I got to go make a gingerbread house at school with Maxwell…
and love seeing him read more and more every day!
I walked in the kitchen to find this one sneaking a bite of that candy house! Stinker!
PJ day at school for Baby girl…
and a visit with Mrs. Claus!
Good times!
The candy house – one of my favorite Christmas traditions! Having all 3 kiddos really “help” this year made it that much more fun. We were armed with plenty of candy…
which my helpers did plenty of taste-testing on, of course!
I helped spread the icing but the decorations were mostly all them…
I’d say it’s the best one yet!
I’m going to let you decide who did which side! 🙂
I love this tradition and I love these three sweet as candy kiddos!
Just wrapping up a few things that have gone on over here recently…
Maxwell has started playing basketball! No games yet but I think they will prove to be entertaining…
Maxwell’s class with the dreidels they made…
and the good behavior notice he got from the class elves, Jingle and Bells! 🙂
I took this crazy crew to a birthday party…
where everyone had fun…
including Baby!
Advent Workshop night at the church…
Spencer and Samantha at the mall for cookies and a visit to Santa!
Spencer told Santa he wanted a “remote controlled shark” (oh goodness!) and Baby wouldn’t sit on Santa’s lap but did get some reindeer ears!
Samantha’s teacher sent me this picture form school this week which made me laugh…
I took the whole crew with me to the doctor for a follow up on Baby’s ears (they’re fine)…
and then we hit up the early bird special at the Mexaurant.
Finally, Christmas art projects with Mrs. Susan!
Phew…lots of fun and lots more to come before Christmas is here! Have a great weekend!
