He's Baaack!

The beginning of December means our elf is going to return! Skippy showed up again this year. The kids were thrilled to see him each day and see what he had gotten into or what he brought them!

Merry Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas Eve 2016

We started our new normal for the holidays so on Christmas Eve, I spent the day getting things ready for Christmas while the kids went with John to his family Christmas. They came home late Christmas Eve afternoon and we headed over to mom and dad's for our traditional dinner and cookie baking (no pics since I was helping bake!) as well as getting their Christmas pj's and book. Then home to get some sleep and wait for Santa!!
