December 1

We started a little advent calendar this year.  I am hoping we get all of our fun things done, but I am already starting to feel overwhelmed, so we may not get to all of it!  We will see how it goes...

Day 1 was a success!  The boys took the little slip of paper out of Day 1 and it said "Elf on the shelf arrives from the North Pole today!"  Shortly after we read that our door was ringing.  (Thanks, Casey!)

Who is at the door??

Wrong window!

Oh look, it's the elf with snow covered donuts!

Bennett immediately took a bite of a donut and grabbed the elf!

Here the elf, Dad!  (We didn't find out until later that we aren't supposed to TOUCH the elf!)

My sweet boys wearing their shirts that Aunt Rebecca gave them...Bennett has a mouth full of donut!  

Sweet baby in his "Baby's first Christmas" hat that Bennett wore way back in 2008.
