Hello again! It has been a good couple of months since I have posted anything on here, but that's what mommy life is all about.
Hopefully I can pick up the ball again and get it rolling. I really love the idea of documenting our little life and all the chaos and fun that goes along with it!
Bare with me while I try to catch up on life around here at the moment!
Since it's getting closer to Christmas, I thought it was only apropos to change the layout of my blog to something more festive! Hope you enjoy!
The house and outside atmosphere is really feeling like Christmas at the moment. The weather is very nice for North Florida! Perfect for playing outside and getting some yard work done!
Everyday during December, we try to make a Christmas craft, watch a Christmas Movie, Read a Christmas book, or Bake some Christmas Goodies!
The most exciting thing around here at the moment is our new tradition of "Max", our Elf on the Shelf!! The delivery man brought him two days ago, so that night he flew to our home from the North Pole. :-)

We were going to the grocery store that night, so once we got the kiddos in the car, we set "Max" up on the window over the Christmas Tree. T was somewhat sleepy when we got home, but she did notice he was there right before she went to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she was absolutely amazed to see that he had moved to a different spot in the house! Forgot to take a pic of him over the window, but took pics from then on out!
Here is "Max" sitting in the entertainment center watching "Mickey's Twice upon a Christmas" and having some Reese's Pieces! He had written the kids a note and left them his book to read!
After we read T the book and it was time to name our newest addition to the family, we gave T her choice between Tinsel or Max (because that girl loves her Max & Ruby like nobodies business!). Obviously her love for cartoon characters naturally beat out the more traditional holiday name!
Max it is!!
Yesterday we thought we would build our First Annual Family Gingerbread house! T is finally old enough to enjoy and help out in putting it together and adding all the candy pieces, so it was time to start the tradition! We had so much fun putting the icing everywhere and then taste testing along the way. I mean really, what is the point in playing with and building a house with cookies, icing, and candy without sampling! Here are a few pics of our sweet Gingerbread House...

The finished house!
Happy Holidays!!
