Tis the Season

Well, after a busy, over scheduled and hectic week I have accomplished quite the "to do" list! We have a tree that is up and decorated, the house is about 90% done, inside and out (and seriously doubt the other 10% will get done, so I'm happy), the house is clean, the Christmas cards are mailed out, Santa has finished shopping and thanks to Uncle Tyler about 90% of the other shopping is done, I've started to wrap and will hopefully be done after the weekend and the holiday festivities are well under way. So I've decided that for the rest of the month I'm going to enjoy the holiday season & spirit and anything else that doesn't get done, will just have to wait til next year! Merry Christmas....14 days left!! Ho Ho Ho!

Breakfast with Santa

We woke up to SNOW!!!
Claire loved it and wanted to touch it and have to touch her face
Ms Claus was her favorite, she called her grandma and kept saying she's nice and sweet!
So much fun with my good friend Jackson
Yes, we got a Santa picture, but not with out mama and daddy
Santa arrived on the fire truck, so we had to check that out too!
Fun morning with friends

Decorating the tree


Holidays in Franklin Square

Having a snack on the way
Waiting to ride in the "sleigh"


Loved the horses and she didn't want to get off the carriage ride!
What a fun afternoon AND we got all the "santa" shopping done!

O Christmas Tree

All bundled up and ready to go
Picking out just the right one
Burrrr, it's cold outside!

Calling a Secret Santa....

Ok, I am on the hunt for a few things and if anyone can help me PLEASE let me know!

1. a magic elf to show up with a beautiful tree, get it in the stand, put the lights on it and decorate it
2. another magic elf to get my decorations out, unpack them, and get them up around the house
3. yet another elf to put up some outside lights, hang my wreath on the front door and put my spotlight into the ground
4. several more of Santa's helpers to write out my gift list, hunt for the items, buy them and get them wrapped under the tree
5. find a very talented elf to turn my kitchen into Ms Claus' yummy treat heaven and bake all the holiday cookies

I don't think what I need is too much to ask, so again, if anyone can help, has input or any connections, that would be great!! And honestly, how hard can it be to find elves this time of year!!

HA HA!! :)
