It’s this time of year when you stay in a snuggle up with a good book and a hot cup of coffee.  Yeah right…if I had the time.  Sounds good though.  Thing’s have been slow starting but now they are in full swing.  We are planning a stay-at-home Christmas Eve with dinner and surprise’s to come.  Robert’s mother will be spending Christmas Eve with us because she’s leaving for Aruba on Christmas Day.  How lucky is she?  We are planning an evening of cookie decorating, gingerbread house making, and we might open a gift or two.  (WINK)

Shh…the girl’s don’t know it yet but they have a “new” friend that is planning on making an appearance before the holiday is threw.  I got this wonderful idea from a fellow Facebook friend Michelle Day Wilson.  This is how she explained it to me: “He is a 'scout' elf for Santa. He magically flies back to the North Pole every night to report on the child’s behavior. Her elf just happens to be crazy (like everyone else in their family) and does silly stuff each night.”  Now don’t you think that is too cute?  I found a $10 stuffed-doll at Wal-mart that I plan to accessorize to suite the holiday season and bring her out every year.  Thank you so much Michelle.  I have a feeling this will be a great addition to our family holiday traditions.

I have posted some photograph’s below of a few old and new Christmas decoration’s.  Enjoy!

Happy Holiday’s
