Merry and Bright 2012

 Spreading Magic Reindeer food!

 A note and treats for Santa and his reindeer.

 Santa's gifts to us!

 One happy little dude.

One happy little lady.

 

 The new microphone she requested!  (We have yet to figure out how to connect the MP3 player to it, but she seems just fine without!)

 

Daddy and Kale putting together the remote control monster truck.  Pretty sure Santa got that more for daddy than Kale, but who am I to question Santa's decisions!! :)

 

 

We had a very blessed Christmas.  Many blessings to you and yours this holiday season and always!

Christmas Eve at the Boddicker's

 Cheese!

 We love books!

 Back at home - we received a package labeled "URGENT!"  Those silly elf friends of Ella the Elf showed up and delivered some special pajamas for the kids to wear Christmas Eve.  These special pajamas made sure the kids slept well throughout the night so Santa could work his magic!



Quelf Shennanigans

 

We enjoyed a game of Quelf with the McDaniels' family.  If you haven't played - you are missing out!  It is full of entertainment and laughter :)  Good times had by all!

McDaniels' Family Christmas '12

Not so little anymore:(  They are a wild, loud, crazy

group, but such fun to see them interact and play together :)

 Smiles with Gpa and Gma!

 

 Kale opening his gift from Ella. :)

 Payton Jane opening her gifts from Kaelyn.

 BARBIE!

 

And....the happy couple!

On your mark, get set, wait, where's your hat? :)

Payton wanted to race daddy.  Daddy said, "Ok."  Payton said, "But daddy, we need racing hats."  Enter, mommy with camera to document yet another memory being made! Before and after pics......can you guess who won the race? :)

 

And, of course, I couldn't go without a picture of this sweet little guy!  Happy Monday eve, all! :)

Gift from Ella the Elf

 

 

Ella must have wanted us to work extra hard this weekend!  Putting together a gingerbread house is no easy feat - especially with an impatient 5 (and 30 something) year-old! :)  Now that it is made, it is taking all of our efforts to convince the decorator that we don't need to eat it!  Nonetheless, memories were made making this beautiful house and I loved every (well, almost every) minute of it!

More of Ella the Elf

 Being an elf is big business around here.  She keeps us all quite busy trying to find her each day (in hopes of some fun gifts along the way)!  9 more days :)

Ella's Events

Ella the Elf has returned!

Ella is really a hit with Payton this year!  She searches for her each day and looks forward to the silly things Ella does.  It is a joy to watch Payton and Kale experience Christmas time.  Through the eyes of a child.....it is fun to watch!

Meeting Piper

 

 

Piper is already a month old!!  Payton met her at 2 weeks old and she fell in love immediately!  Piper is the daughter of our very dear friends, Zach and Brenda.  She's a beautiful blessing that we can't wait to witness growing up.  Congratulations Boswells! :)

Oh Christmas Tree!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the Fulk Tree Farm we picked out the perfect Christmas tree again!  :)  It was a beautiful day (almost HOT) and the kids enjoyed running in the open fields! :)  I love Christmas time!
