A magical surprise greeted Trey when he came home from school today! Our magic elf came down from the north pole to visit the kids over the holiday season to make sure they are being nice! He brought a letter from Santa and cookies! The kids are so excited, they named him mistletoe! Love this time of year!
Me and the kids were out Christmas shopping on Saturday and decided to hit up the "good" Walmart! I took my chances because i really wanted a real pine wreath for the front door! We walked into the garden center to hurry and grab one and guess who was sitting there! The big man himself! The kids weren't really prepared to tell Santa what they wanted but they winged it pretty good! Walmart Santa was a little off his game he needed a few dozen cookies, a hearing aid and a small dose of Christmas spirit but oh well! I wouldn't expect anymore from a Santa of Walmart! Aleast his elf was jolly! Oh and Harper didn't want a thing to do with him (i can't blame her) shocker!
Christmas!!! The day after Thanksgiving we busted out the tree! We actually have two trees but this is the only one the kids will kind of help decorate! They just really aren't into it! Trey helped a little more then usual, but mostly its just a mom project! They love to see it finished! Maybe as they get older they will like it more! Harper loves the tree though she comes down every morning and waits for it to be turned on so she can say, "oh, pretty!!!" We love having our house decorated for Christmas!
This year we had our first family Thanksgiving! I was a little stressed about how it would turn out, but it was amazing! It was kind of nice to not have to be anywhere and just be on our own schedule. Richard had to work the first part of the day so me and the kids had plenty of time to get everything ready! Our turkey turned out amazing as did everything else I made! I'm so grateful for this little family of ours...i don't know what i would do with out them all! Happy Thanksgiving!
If you didn't know this girl is a daddys girl. I'm secretly a little sad about it. Anyway she hates it when Richard leaves to go to work! Since the new twilight movie has come out he has been gone more then usual. We've hardly seen him all weekend, which most of us can deal with but not this girl. She is just sad! She sits by the window looking for him to come home, sits by the back door listening for the garage door to go up. She's even resorted to starring at a picture of him on my phone. She kiss it and say miss you and love you! It's really kind of adorable until the crying starts then it's just plain sad. She just loves her daddy! Yesterday when he left she just couldn't take it and cried for a good 20 minutes. The best thing about it though is when he comes home. Harper gets so excited when she hears the garage door. She takes off in a dead run to find her daddy! It's pretty darn sweet!
I thought I loved Caramel apple cider...that was until I had salted caramel hot chocolate! Pretty much the best!
This man...I honestly don't think I could make it through the day without him. I miss him from the second he leaves everyday til the minute he comes home. I wish I could just stay right in this spot forever...all day long!
