Jingle bells

3 days until Christmas! And just over a week until the new year.

We have been busy as can be. The girls have had a fully packed schedule. We started Thanksgiving by heading downtown to the Mag Mile parade. What better than to start with a little 20 degree temps and Mickey Mouse parade. We bundled up and the girls had an absolute blast. We even had a special trip to the Disney store which always dds to the magic of the holiday season. We have been busy with all kinds of holiday themed events. The holiday has been slightly overwhelming for the girls. The school has had multiple parties, holiday events, and lots of Santa talk over the past 5 weeks. That is  a lot for little gals to handle. They are at the point where they just want there presents already, enough Santa business. We do the whole elf on the shelf thing. Our's is named snowflake and the girls have had a ball trying to find her and see what trouble she gets herself into (the only trouble has been that momma and daddy have to remember and find unique places for her to go and things to do!!). We have played with friends, baked cookies, had a ugly sweater Christmas party, made reindeer food, decorated christmas ornaments, got our annual real tree, the whole nine yards! The girls are still both terrified of Santa, no surprise there. They will get close enough to wave but any closer seems to produce instantaneous tears. The girls are beyond excited for christmas morning and cannot wait for all there new presents. Addi is long awaiting yet another few dollies to add to her collection. Franki she'll take about just every toy in the toy department (However, she plays dolls and school all day long, so really a few school supplies and a chalkboard would probably suit her best! We still have a few things to pack into the next few days! Merry Christmas to All and to all a Good night!

Here are a few photos to enjoy!










The girls are really into Christmas music this year. They have been listening since before Thanksgiving. There favorites are Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Clause is coming to town. The sound and feeling of Christmas is alive and well in our home!
