UGHH!!

You know when you get so far behind on updating your blog and you just don't know where to start and don't want to take the time to post it all? Well I am feeling that way! I have so much to post and it will take forever...so I think I'll just sum it all up in pictures.


We had a fabulous Christmas...Santa came and gave us all way more than we needed. Hope you all had a great one too!

Felty


My friend Rachel posted about this cute little guy a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was so cute. My friend Casey picked one up for me and let me tell you...it is our new favorite thing about Christmas!! The kids love it and it really does make them act nicer knowing there is a real Elf watching their every move.
But let me tell you, you have to be on top of it with moving him every night. The first night we got him out the box we totally forgot to move him to a new place! We had to make up a little story on why he didn't move yet.
Go to this website to learn all about the Elf on the Shelf and where to buy them.
You get to give your Elf a name of your choice...my kids picked Felty.

This 5 year old of mine...






Noah and the boys at the Good Guys car show.

last week Brody turned 5! I really can't believe it. For His birthday Noah and I took him out by himself and let him pick where we ate. He picked Chuck E. Cheese. Where else would a 5 year old boy pick to eat? He played games afterward for about an hour and won about 250 tickets. He was in heaven all night. Later we took him to Target to buy something with his birthday money. He picked a Baukagon (don't know how to spell that) set. It was really cute..when he got to the register he just gave the money right to the guy and forgot to put the toy up on the register because he was so excited.

I am so grateful for Brody. He is such a good and sweet boy. He is really a good helper. He puts all the diapers in the black garbage, empties the recycle, cleans the playroom by himself, cleans his room, helps make his bed, and picks up the backyard. He loves to do "jobs" and is always wanting money for doing jobs. We could not imagine our lives without Brody. We love him so much!
