Christmas Cards

Every year a keep a few of the Christmas cards that I send out and put them in Benjamin and Savannah's keepsake boxes. Well, this year we ran out. I ordered 100 and used every one of them. We only have about 5 more to send out so I've decided that those 5 people will just have to miss out this year (like they'll even notice, right?). So, I had to take a picture of the card and I'm documenting how it looks in our blog book. So kids, here you go.

P.S. Anyone out there that just throws the cards away after a while, can you save them for us so we can have one or two?

Elf of the Shelf

I have pleaded, pleaded some more, and even tried bribing but Ben just won't change his mind. Our Elf on the Shelf arrived a couple of days ago. We're supposed to name the elf. I let Ben name him. What name did he choose? First it was T-Rex. After brainstorming with him for about 15 minutes of other names (because I wasn't too excited about that one) he came up with Bird T-Rex and he won't have it any other way. So....say hello to...ahem...Bird T-Rex.


Day 1........













Day 2........














Day 3.......


















I'm sure there will be more pics to come of the silly little places he decides to hide each morning.....

Heisman

Oh yeah baby! Sic e'm Griffin!

Dear Santa.....

Here's Ben's first ever letter to Santa. He cut out all the pictures of the toys he wanted from the Target magazine and we taped them to the sheet of paper. I wrote everything but his name....good job buddy! (We practice his "N's" everyday...but you can definitely tell that's what it's supposed to be!)

I'm Really Not THAT Bad!

It's that time of year and Mommy likes to belt out Christmas tunes at the top of her lungs. However, as you can see below, Savannah isn't much of a fan of Mommy's singing........

Mamma!!! STOP SINGING!!!!!!!!!
