Elf Shenanigans!

That elf - at it again and always providing morning entertainment! The one with him climbing the wall didn't work as planned and he fell to the floor by the time we woke the next morning. So I proceeded to move Jingles throughout the day, even when Maddox was home. It started freaking him out, lol. He was no ok with it.

Merry Christmas!

Santa found the boys again this year. They didn't have much on their wish lists so Santa gifted them a stay at Great Wolf Lodge in January. We'll shut out the winter and enjoy some warm and water.

Family Gifts

After the Children's mass, we came home for soup and family gifts. Maddox is adamant we have soup on Christmas Eve every year. He knows he gets tomato soup and he'll eat it fast so he can get to gifts sooner, lol.

Christmas Cookies

Getting the annual cookies made for Santa.

Futsal

Maddox is back at futsal and even got the chance to play goalie. He was beast back there in the net.

Indoor Soccer

Macen has had several games now and even had the opportunity to play forward several times. That has resulted in him being able to score some goals. He has been enjoying it and it's been fun for James and I to watch as well.

Gingerbread House Decorating

We found a use for all those banana Laffy Taffy's from Halloween, lol. Another year of 'more frosting was eaten than what was put on the house'.

Jingles is making himself at home

Macen is helping with Jingles this year and he seems to be enjoying it. Maddox looks for Jingles as soon as he gets up each morning.

Advent Calendars

The boys were getting tired of the Lego Star Wars calendars so we went with Funko Pop ones this year. It's Fortnite themed and they are enjoying not having to out something together every morning.

All is Bright

Our annual 'let's trap my brother in the tree box' moment.

The tree is up and we are getting in the holiday spirit. James and I are ready but the boys are lagging behind this year. They are in denial that Christmas is actually here.
