Elf Magic - Snowflake, Jingle and Tinsel to be

This year we decided to introduce something called Elf Magic.  For those that don't know, these are elves that Santa sends us from the North Pole to help increase the excitement and anticipation of Santa coming to town.  Syd and Ty received their elves this year and sure it may have been more for my experience but next year they'll get it a bit more.  At night Snowflake and Jingle would sneak out of their cribs and cause mischief in the night.  That part Syd didn't quite understand so maybe next year.  Needless to say I stopped throwing crackers on my floor at night haha.  Ty could care a less about it all but we did take time out this evening to name our elves, even baby #3's elf.  It was fun and we look forward to next year doing it all over again. 


Elves have arrived from the North Pole
Ty's just excited about all the commotion
 

We received a video about the elves and Syd would dance in front during all the songs

December catch up - Christmas Tree Shopping

Christmas tree shopping with two toddlers is very interesting to say the least.  Always running in different directions and with trees everywhere it's hard for mom and dad to keep tabs.  And always need to mention the fact that no one will ever stop and turn around to take a picture!

As good as we could get on looking at the camera
  

Once captured, we could get our family photo

Time to decorate.  Syd held the strand of lights with me as we went round and round. 

Ty's got his unbreakable ornament ready to put on the tree

Syd get's the light the angel this year


Perfect angle, she's got it

Done with you people, no more pictures or decorating please!
