Jingle Arrives with Trees!

The other night Jingle the Elf surprised Emma and Liam with their own tree!!!  Liam doesn't get his in his room because I know it would be a screaming fit in the middle of the night if he rolled over and saw the lights off!  His tree is in the living room and Emma's in her room this year (dealt with the light battle last year!!!)!
Both of them have loved decorating and un-decorating the trees nonstop!!! Now with 2 trees we need to make a trip to hobby lobby after Christmas and get some more cheap ornaments for next year!

 

Christmas card photo shoot:)

This year I had so many options....  After a "wonderful" 17 year old Driver drove through our pine tree's and knocked 2 20foot tree's down while driving a VW Jetta we had so miniature tree's around...  One is in a stand on our porch with lights on it:)  One is up at Kim and Eric's house and then we used branches to make some decorations.  I decided it would be cute to put on top of their cars ( I thought I came up with the idea on my own but Kim said she had seen on pinterest last year so I am sure that I had seen it and that is why I really thought of it!) 
The first day....

 At this point I did not think I would get them in the same frame so I thought individual would work the best....

 I couldn't believe I got individual shots of both of them with their eyes open, looking at me AND HAPPY!!!  I decided to start shooting away to try to get both in one photo. 

 Getting two active kids in one picture frame while they are sitting in vehicles with wheels.... not easy!!
Instead....  We had a fender bender

 She was NOT happy with the accident!

 Getting out to assess the damage and Liam is wondering if he is going to get the next parking spot ;)

 He is now thinking he better check out the damage too!

 I got the cars in the same photo frame... that has to count for something!!!

 To end:

In Good 'Ole Holiday Cheer:  HAPPY ROAD RAGE!!! 

December crafts...

That is crafts with toddlers so nothing fancy here!!  I think I do 95% of the craft too. 

The Very Hungry Reindeer: Working on letters and numbers by feeding the reindeer:)

Decorating some trees...

Felt trees brought to Liam and Emma from Jingle the Elf.

 Reindeer hats:)

One day we will have fancy nice crafts in our house... until then we will stick with construction paper:)

And Just because he LOVES his doggy as much as Emma Loves Lilly.  She became attached at a much younger age but he really loves his doggy!

Tree decorating

The tree is up and ready to be decorated!!!

The Christmas Village.  I LOVE this and am starting to get too many pieces they need to be moved elsewhere!

These two were VERY VERY excited to start decorating!  Liam had no idea what he was going to be doing:)  It was so fun to watch them!!

Learning from Emma what to do!

Liam's turn!

Actually got a decent picture on the first try!!!  There may have been a little bribing ;)  They loved putting ornaments on so much I told them if they sat they would get another!!  

Looking for Santa and Rudolph! I love how excited he is and he has no clue what is coming!

Love the pants falling down!  This boy is so skinny NOTHING stays on him!! 

AHHHHH.....

I make this once a year... Frozen hot Chocolate.  It is soooo yummy.  This year I decided to try a new recipe and it was DELICIOUS!!   I enjoyed it much   more then the previous years!  It is a keeper and I may make another time this year;)

After Liam got to put up a few decorations he went to bed and Emma got to help with a few more

This was given to me by some coworkers at Christ Church when Emma was born (maybe her 1st bday) It has and "E" on it

Daddy had been working at Papa's store all day so he got to sit back and relax while Emma and Mommy worked hard!!

Emma apparently liked decorating in one area!

The end product!!
