It's the Holiday Season...

...that means it's time for traditions, family, friends, food, decor and the Christmas Spirit!

This tree reminds Scott of the tree from the Charlie Brown Christmas Movie. I on the other hand think that it is adorable and perfectly proportioned and it smells so good. I even carried it home on my back along with a stroller, backpack, purse, Paisley and a messy gingerbread house. I worked for that, tree dang it.
The Elf on the Shelf "magically" moves each night of December and the girls find him each morning. He watches over children to report to Santa if they have been naughty or nice, it works. Except Elf has been a little naughty as you can see, because almost every morning Scott and I awake to find he and his girlfriend, one of the Tinkerbell Fairies, sitting a little too close. Do you see that smirk on his face?! ;)

Before the girls and I headed to Vegas, The Grahams had us over for Kaydee's homemade beef stew, rolls and apple crisp. It was all soooo good. And, I got this darling picture. I think it's my favorite.

Ella and Paisley also learned a lot about Hanukkah this year and were feeling a little left out, so we made a menorah out of play-doh, got some Hanukkah candles and painted some dreidels. We also sang a bunch of songs that I remember learning in Elementary school.

Happy Holidays!
