I some how skip over Thanksgiving and I cannot figure out why- maybe because it is at our house? I have no idea. Gabe peed in his cute Thanksgiving outfit and I never got one single picture. Oh well, the rest of the boys life is pretty well documented!
I digress, now on to Elfie! He is back. Some people can't stand this whole Elf On A Shelf thing, but I love it. And thanks to Pinterest, I don't have to rack my brain all the time about fun things to do with him. Sam is really into it this year so I can't wait until the end of December to put up all of his shenanigans- how in the world do you spell that? I am really excited for Christmas even more than normal because my babies are so excited- well Sam is, but Gabe is just cute. We will save the talk about his birthday for another post. Sniff, sniff.
I am determined to soak up all I can this Christmas, I am so famous for saying " I will get to it" and never do and then it is January and I am so sad that I let another year go by without really doing all I had planned. I am no Susie homemaker, but we did make some cinnamon ornaments- 2 ingredients- fun! We are already in full swing with our Christmas music and next is to work on an advent calendar- we really want Sam to understand why we have Christmas. Santa is a figure in our house, but he is just something we talk about a little. I am working on making Elfie a reminder of why we have Christmas and not just a little elf that reports to Santa if Sam was good or bad. Whew- there are learning opportunities in everything when you have little ones!
