Again--another month post that is mostly pics vs. text but theres no better journal than a picture journal when your kids are as cute as mine!! :)Just need to get caught up so I can start fresh again!
Blake's first time in the car cart:)
ELF ON THE SHELF:
we decided to start a new fun tradition this year by inviting an Elf to come to our house this Holiday season. Chippey of course is his name because Ben had already seen the movie and could think of no other name:)
I thoroughly enjoyed finding new places for Chippey to land each night and Ben LOVE LOVE LOVED looking for him, talking to him, chasing Blake from touching him, and telling him all about his Christmas list.
Caught Ben just chatting with Chippey
My sweet babes...
Chippey got into all of our leftover Halloween candy:)
Funny face selfies with my little man:)
Costco with my two little buddies:)
We took Ben to the Polar Express. It had quickly become his favorite movie over the last month and he wants to watch it every day. When we told him we were going to ride on the real train he was excited beyond belief.
