Happy New Year!

Lanterns for New Years! Eat your heart out, Disney.

Early Christmas Morning!

There's nothing better than happy children on an early Christmas morning!

Waverly was very happy with her lot! 

She had asked Santa for a doll house.  Wishes really do come true!

Harlan was excited to see the Pie in the Face game 

that he had specifically asked Santa for.  

He also got a super nerf blaster and a race car that he can put together

and take apart all on his own.

In true Christmas tradition, we watched A Christmas Story

while playing and having breakfast.

Ella the Elf said her goodbyes last night, but left a fun little pile of 'snow' (ahem, powdered sugar) and hershey kisses behind.  

Until next year...  happy christmas! 

Cold, hard cash

This year we decided to have a dirty Santa gift exchange at Pappy's.  I had the luck of the draw to get Uncle George's name.  What would he like for Christmas?  Cold, hard cash! 

As in, change and a couple dollars that I froze in layers of ice....  

Santa was here

Wavy and Harlan must've made the nice list! Ella the elf left with Santa, but she had a nice little goodbye note! Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Cookies for Santa

Carrots for reindeer, cookies and coffee for Santa. (We thought he'd appreciate the caffeine.)
