Advent Day 2-5
Anna is very much into dolls. Her favorite doll, a reborn, named Amelia turned a year old, and she insisted that we celebrate her birthday with cake!
We also painted ornaments for the tree.
Girls wrote a letter to Santa. Anna watched a Youtube video that showed her how to draw Santa and his reindeer. Bub had a stomach bug, and slept on the couch most of the day.
Mason loved his candy cane, and even said "cheese" for the camera.
Trins Santa list says:
gumballs
Reborn
princess dress
silly sprinkler
snowflakes and hot chocolate...
Yummy yummy Smores!!

Advent Day 1
We started Advet today, and guess what? We got our very own Elf on the Shelf. The girls were so excited, and loved seeing his powder sugar foot prints leading to today's perch.
It seems as though he put himself in a glass vase, so that the girls wouldn't
break the touching rules, before knowing about them.
To name our elf, we all put in two names to be drawn out of a hat. The Elf would have a first name and middle name, so we drew two. The list of names that
were put in the hat were:
Anna: Peppermint & Candy Cane
Trinity: Elfie & Lollipop
Bub: Eddie & Bernard
Mason: Choo Choo ( I put that in for him, because he says it all the time)
Me: Sprinkles & Cracker Jack
Dad: Buddy & Clarke
The name of our Elf is...drum roll please...
Buddy Choo Choo
Needless to say, Trin was a little upset, and didn't quite get what we were doing. She didn't understand why she didn't get to draw her names out of the hat. The tears quickly stopped once we reminded her that Buddy Choo Choo reported everything to Santa.
Trinity did spark a conversation today about Jesus, saying that it's so nice that Jesus knows everything about you without having to have a magic elf. She said that she can just talk to Him, and He can hear her, and He loves her, and protects her. She also mentioned that she really likes the elf, but just thought of those things and that's why Jesus is better.
I told her she was so smart, and exactly right!
Jesus is way better!
Happy Advent

Christmas card addresses
This year I ordered my Christmas cards early, thanks to a Groupon
I bought that forced me too! ;)
They came in the mail today, and I am really pleased with them!
I can't wait to start addressing them!
This year one of my Mommy groups moved to Facebook,
and sadly, all of my addresses for them were on our old
site. (miss you girls!) I've also realized that my address book does not
have all of our family and friends current addresses. If you are
family, a friend, or a reader of my blog, send me your address,
and I will make sure I get a card mailed out to you!

Busy Week!!
This has been a busy week!
First up: Monday- Bub had his last football game, and his team won.
The team finished 8-0 for an undefeated season!
Wednesday- Halloween! The kids had a blast! Luckily, the only thing I purchased in the way of costumes this year was Mason's, and I bought it for a steal on Ebay! Anna went as a zombie, and Trin got her outfit from Nana last Christmas! She is very adamant on being a fire girl one day. We went to the local fire station last weekend, and it was amazing for her....it deserves a post of its own!
Mason walked the entire block on Halloween, and screamed if we tried to put him in his stroller. He thinks he is as big as the other kids! When we got home, he enjoyed some m&m's and a lollipop.
Thursday- My sister had her adorable baby girl.

Don't you just love her cheeks? I just want to kiss them!
Friday- the girls and I headed out on a 5 hour road trip for Anna's cheer competition.
Saturday- Anna's team won first place in their division! The All Stars that she cheers for actually brought home 5 first place wins!
I was so extremely proud of Anna! She has learned so much in the few months she's been cheering! She LOVES it, and I am so happy for her! She says that she can't wait to compete again!
Trin said that next year she wants to cheer! I swear, it's in the blood! I don't know how my mom every afforded having my sister and I on two teams growing up. She must have sacrificed so much being a single mom. I am so grateful for it all!
Our busy week was FUN FUN FUN!!
