Meet Jingle

This was our first year doing Elf on the Shelf

and I must say we had so much fun with it.

I seen the idea for a North Pole Breakfast over

at Little Pumpkin Grace and thought it was to cute,

so that's how our elf made his appearance.

She wasn't to sure at first & wanted to touch him so

bad so Daddy quickly read the book so she would know

what he was all about.

I must say this little guy keep her in line for the

entire month of December.

She named him Jingle!

And Jingle brought her a present (a christmas book).

I have more Jingle pictures to come!

December

I am finally getting around to posting about December, haha!

I'm gonna try real hard to get caught up & stay that way.

We did a few crafts during December & Aleigha loves

anything that has to do with paint.

I thought it turned out quite cute!

Last year we made the reindeer pillow & decided

to do it again this year. I used the same pillow but opposite

side. She loved doing this!

We decorated a Gingerbread house!

Prettiest one I've ever seen :)

We visited the Rose center to see all the lights

and snow!

She LOVED the singing Christmas tree!

Mamaw & Papaw with the kiddos

They had alot of fun. We left there & went out

for doughnuts & hot chocolate!

We made cute little snow ornaments for the daycare

ladies and I think they turned out very cute! 

And the cute Reindeer for her class party!

My sweet sweet girl! We also made that cute

shirt she's wearing. She was very particular

about which ribbon went where!

More Christmas post to come! 

Trying to catch up - November

I haven't posted in so long & need to get

caught up!  I'll just start where I left off

and it'll mostly be pictures :) The past few months

have just been so busy with the holidays, and

going to the inlaws for almost 2 weeks and then

school started back for me but, YAY, this is my

last semester of clinicals & I graduate in May!

Ok, so here we go....

Miss priss found not 1 but 2 of her Christmas

presents in November. After the first one, we just

laughed. Both were board games so she immediately

wanted to play them! Next year we'll go back to

putting stuff in the attic :)

Playing memory!

Decorating her Christmas tree...

I think she redecorated it quite a few times before Christmas!

The weather was nice in November so we spent

alot of time outside!

Playing in the leaves with Bentley!

My little cousins birthday was in November & we all

went & had a blast.

I think they went down this slide over & over again!

Sadly one of the most important days in November is Thanksgiving

and I got NO pictures. I dont think I even go one, but we had

alot of fun spending it with family and I went Black Friday shopping

with my Mom! The next day was when my sis-in-law had Tripp

and I wrote about that here!

I'll be posting our Christams adventures next!

Merry Christmas!

Tripp's Birthday

My nephew decided to come a month early but was

still healthy other than some respiratory problems.

He was in the NICU a few days but recovered well

and is doing great.

My brother has been so sweet & loving with Tripp!

Finally getting to feed him!

And we were at their house when he finally got to come home

and Aleigha has been head over hills in love since.

She loves Tripp like he's her own brother

& she's quite stingy with him too! :)

Disney Live

A few weeks ago we took Aleigha to Disney Live

and she was so excited.

As soon as we go there she had to have Snow White,

her favorite!

And the the fun began. I loved this show & all

the princesses.

Dancing to the music :)

It got a little cold so Daddy was warming her up.

We had such a good time, i hope they come back

next year.



Pumpkins

We didn't carve pumpkins this year instead we just

decorated a few. Aleigha painted some pumpkins

and when she saw this "Woody" pumpkin

push in she had to have it!

And I must say I think it turned out adorable.

I found this cute little cat pumpkin sticker kit

and she had fun decorating her little pumpkin.

I'm sure we'll carve a pumpkin next year, but this

worked for us this year!
