Santa's House

Christmassy things like Elf on the Shelf! 

Little K wakes up eager to find Elfolo in a new spot. All over the house and sometimes with treats! 

Baby M goes around looking for him too. 

 He's been so much fun this year! Ha!

This past weekend we went to see Santa! We love going to the tree farm to visit Santa's house. 

Baby M wasn't thrilled tho. 

We went on a wagon pulled by horses. 

We roasted marshmallows 

 

We had a fun afternoon! 

 

 

Only a few weeks left! I am almost done my Christmas shopping. I took a few days off to shop! I love shopping and wrapping gifts close to Christmas time. I love the full Christmassy feel of that!

We also love to give back every year. Some years we do more than other years but we make sure that every year we give back. I'm so happy that little K is learning about this at home, school and church.  He's eager to help and happy to make other kids happy. 

At work we sponsored a family. A family with 2 boys. I'm dropping off the gifts at work tomorrow. They will put everyone's gifts together and deliver it to the family.

Every little bit helps. If we all give a little, that makes a lot! We hope to bring them big smiles this Christmas.

Playing with my brother is my favorite too.

You learn so much from your brother and you make your brother laugh soo much! 

 You love hugging and kissing all of us and we do our part in smothering you! 

New words are coming through.

And some made up words too but they have a meaning to you! Ha! You will make sure we understand you.

SK things and weekend things

Mr 5 year old is one sweet boy! How is he mine! He amazes me everyday with the words that flow out of his mouth! 

This week we had parent teacher interview and we were so proud hearing his teachers talk all about him. 

We had to write a message of love on a ribbon for an art project they are working on. Reach for the Stars! We love you to the moon and back! Love mommy, daddy and baby Mikey! He was had the biggest smile on his face. 

After the parent teacher interview, we went Black Friday shopping! Mr K was a perfect little shopper.

 
 

Today at mass he went on his own to the kids class. He came back so excited rehearsing what he learned. 

We are soo excited for Christmas! Can you tell! 

Elf on the shelf has been hoping around leaving gifts on the weekends! 

 

 

We had a fun weekend! 

The boys love practicing the piano. 

With the cold weather here, we will have more time to practice! 

We had a fun birthday party for a baby cousin! 

 

Mikey loved Santa! 

 

 At work we sponsored a family and we are all pitching in for gifts.  The family of 2 boys really hit a soft spot for me. I've been discussing it with little k, letting him in on what we will be doing to help give them a wonderful Christmas. He understands fully and I'm so happy to share this tradition with our kids. 

He is excited to help.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

I haven't blogged for a while! 

The busy day to day put my blogger on the back burner.

We have been busy with our daily routine , work, school, daycare, homework, housework and lots of fun things in between ha! 

The holidays are quickly approaching and my long list of gifts is getting checked off slowly! 

All our decor is complete for the season.

 

 Taking our Christmas card pic was a little hard this year haha. Baby M couldn't sit still! 

These 2 just melt my heart! Little k says the sweetest things. His heart is so big and I'm so proud of him. He is the perfect big brother, baby M looks up to him so much.

Swimming lessons have been great. Little k loves his instructor and he's doing so wel!

Thanksgiving long weekend!

The weather was perfect this weekend. We had a couple of fun events and ended our weekend with a yummy turkey made by moi!  

Little K was so excited for the weekend! 

The Mr picked him up early on Friday, and that was a perfect start to the long weekend! 

First thing Saturday we had little k's swimming lessons. 

He is loving this class. He is so cute, always asking to go first when trying new things. 

After swimming lessons we met up with family and friends at a pumpkin patch! 

This place was beautiful and so scenic! 

 

The kids had soo much fun! 

Playing on the hills, going in the boo barn and riding a pony!!

 

After a fun day out we ended the evening at a yummy restaurant. 

We are so proud of our kids. They love socializing and being out together with family and friends. They were having their own little conversation and asking each other what they will order. They had a blast! 

The family fun continued on Sunday. We had my grandmothers 85th birthday party! We love super Nonna soo much! 

 
 

The food was soo good at this restaurant! My grandparents were so happy to have everyone together celebrating. 

We got my grandma a Kate spade purse! 

Then came Monday! We were up early and everyone helped in the kitchen! 

 Our new family tradition! 

I'm so proud of my turkey haha! It was my first time, and it came out delicious! I made rice, sweet potatoes, stuffing, mashed potatoes,beans, corn cranberry sauce, gravy soo good! And Apple pie for dessert! 

We said our prayer before our lunch and we all said out loud what we were thankful for. Little k said he was thankful for his cousins, his family and friends, his toys, iPad, and water. Haha. We helped him extend his thanks to many other things and also praying for those in need.

 We are so thankful and blessed to have amazing friends and family. We had a great weekend full of love. Making great memories and new traditions. 

Happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours.
