Traditions

We are very excited about starting and instilling some family traditions this holiday season. Katelyn has really gotten into the holidays this year and we are loving it!

Lex has done a great job with our lights this year...here's a pic. We are still thinking about adding something else (we try to add something every year), but we can't decide what to get this year. Any suggestions?

Elf on the Shelf

We've heard so many great things about kids really getting into the spirit of Christmas (and being extra nice) during the holidays with a fun little Elf's help. Here is Katelyn and Daddy learning all about it...so far Katelyn has been calling him Elfie Ta-da...we'll see if that name sticks :) I can't wait to see her excitement over the next few weeks when she wakes up to see what Elfie Ta-da has been up to!

We also hit up the Simpsonville Parade this afternoon and met up with our friends the Batkin's. We went last year too and had a great time. Katelyn especially loved the dancers & candy canes :)

I can't wait to hear all about Elfie Ta-da!! We're going to wait until next year to start that, but I've heard good things about it! And good job, Mimi, on the hats!

They look so cute in their hats.
I need to make one for Drew too.

I am glad that you found an Elf to watch Katelyn.... ;0)
This will make a lot of cute stories I expect to see on this blog...hint hint hint....can't wait to read them.
Love,
Mimi
