perfect weather & tired boys ..

see ya ..

we had a great day on the mountain ..

we keep hearing see ya from the kids ..

it was all we could do to keep up !

the last of elf ..

elf went back to the north pole on christmas eve ..

but not before he made one last mess .. 

he thought that it would be fun to TP the house .. 

who me .. with my so sweet face ..

this was not my idea !

we are hoping that elf takes a manners class while at the north pole ..

hopefully next year he will be better behaved !!

racing hot wheels ..

the boys had so much fun playing with this .. 

it didn't take long for them to figure out that if they took a pillow off the couch and put it under the track that the hot wheels would fly thru the air ..

thanks james for letting the boys borrow your hot wheels !

my ocd anxiety attack

we are going to change things up at the house over christmas break ..

this means that everything came off the walls 

and was moved to the garage or piled up on the pool table

notice the ski stuff all piled up as well .. 

there is stuff everywhere ..

potty's were removed and put in places you don't usually see potty's 

bathrooms were taken apart ..

my house is now in the garage .. 

along with train tables .. and rangers .. 

you will notice the lack of christmas spirit .. i had to take it down ..

knowing that i was coming home to this .. plus christmas .. plus trying to get 2 kids to school the day after we get home was to much ..

this is to much ..

 i have only had 2 big OCD attacks ..

i will be ok .. 

i will get it back together ..

it will give me something to do between loads of laundry

christmas eve ..

we celebrated christmas eve at jon and julie's yesterday .. 

we got to see this sweet boy .. julien 

there was amazing food .. 

the "line patrol" .. pat was reminding everyone that the line does not start there ..

it starts behind him ..

piggy plate #1

piggy plate #2

piggy plate #3

we had a wonderful day full of food and family .. 

i hope everyone else did to 

ho ho ho ..

sweet preston .. he was so happy that it was finally time for the party to start ..

they were all reindeer .. 

they did a book exchange ..

cash loves christmas books .. we have been reading a different book every night .. 

mrs. pool got them all balance birds for christmas .. 

they had more fun with those birds ..

they balanced them on cups .. 

and noses .. 

mrs. taylor was even feeling the christmas spirit ..

ho ho ho from cash's kindergarten class

oatmeal angels and movie night ..

who knew that elf liked american trucker .. 

the 65 car pile up ..

just a little push ..

is all that it took to create this mess ..

elf ..

how many more days until christmas ??????

elf played while we were away ..

it seems that elf had a hard time getting the gumballs to come out ..

we are santa's elves ..

who doesn't love kindergarten christmas programs ..
