The Look Out

Reagan and Cooper spent the night with Gigi & Bubba last night and Snowflake was so sad.  When Greg and I got up this morning, we found Snowflake looking out the front door window for Reagan and Cooper!  He stayed there until they came home!

 

Sweet 16

Greg and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage today.  It hasn't been perfect, but there has been waaay more good than bad.  We've had fun and would do it all over again!

Stocking Stuffer

Look where Snowflake landed this morning!

Hanging Around

When the kids woke up this morning, they found Snowflake hanging upside down from the light fixture over the kitchen table.

 

Seeing Double

Snowflake was up to his tricks again.  This time he made copies of himself on the printer!

 

Tuesday's Tinsel

Snowflake is up to his antics again!  The kids couldn't believe their eyes when they found Snowflake at the bottom of the steps!

Snowflake stole the toilet paper from the bathroom and had some fun!

 Cooper got his very own tree this year~and he decorated it himself!

 Reagan LOVES her tree!

 they also got to decorate their windows with gel clings

Pick Up Man

Look where we found Snowflake this morning!

Oh, Snowflake

Snowflake is a mischievous little elf.  This morning, Cooper found Snowflake had marked on one of our photos.  He had given Greg and me large eyelashes and moustaches.  Both Reagan and Cooper thought this was hilarious and have giggled about it all day!

 

Snowflake

We're starting a new tradition with the kids this Christmas.  The Elf on a Shelf was delivered on our doorstep this evening.  We read the story and the kids decided to name the elf Snowflake.  We can't wait to see what the elf does everyday!

 

5th Birthday Birthday Party

Cooper's whole family came to the bowling alley to help him celebrate his 5th birthday.  We bowled, danced, ate and laughed...we had so much fun!  It was a great way to celebrate our little man!
