We made a little Gingerbread house the other night out of a milk carton. I loved how simple it was The girls did all of it by themselves which they loved as well.

Gracie, our Elf on the Shelf
Our newest Christmas tradition! Year after year, children and adults alike are baffled by the mystery of how Santa really knows who’s been naughty or nice. After much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has allowed his biggest secret to be revealed in The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition . This gift set includes a North Pole pixie-elf, hardbound children’s book and keepsake box. Children can register their elf online and receive a special response from Santa.
Our elf's name is Gracie. Gracie will keep watch of the girls this Christmas and report back to Santa every night if they have been naughty or nice. The next morning she will be in a new spot and the girls have to find her. This morning you would have thought it was Christmas morning! Addison came in very early and yelled, "She's gone!" Of course I flew up in a panic and said, "who's gone?!?" "Gracie!! She's gone." Oh yes, we have an elf on the shelf now...I will be better prepared in my sleepy haze tomorrow. Wow! It's awesome for parents!!
Family Pictures

Many Thanks!!!
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving and I thankful for so many things! I am thankful for my faith and my Lord. We have found a wonderful church to call home and I am so glad that our girls are growing up with God's love. It gives me great joy! I am thankful for my husband who says, "A family that LAFS (love, acceptance, forgiveness and sacrifice) together, stays together!" I am blessed to call him my best friend and husband for over 11 years now. Finally I am thankful for my family who we spent a wonderful Thanksgiving day with. I am thankful for their love and support. It was wonderful vsiting with everyone and I cannot wait to see the rest of the family at Christmas time! The only downside to the day...I wish I had taken more pictures :( We were so caught up in cooking, visiting and watching football that I forgot. I would have loved a picture of my Maw maw, my mom, me and the girls. Hopefully we'll have another opportunity soon. I did snap a few pics of this girls when we first got to Mimi's house.
Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him; sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
make known his deeds among the peoples!
