Christmas Roundup!

So I've discovered that having 3 kids + one doggie makes for very little time to blog.  However, things seemed to have slowed down a bit this weekend and so I'm ready to round up the end of 2011 and start in on a few posts for 2012.

Here's a bit of fun from Christmas...

Meet our Elf, "Scout", who makes mischief during the night for the kids to find in the morning.  A couple of the best set ups are pictured below.

"Eating" some Christmas cookies!

Getting captured in a "battle" with a few of Aiden's action figures!

The kids loved this tradition last year, but this year they both ran to find where Scout was hiding each morning.  The mornings when I forgot to hide him were a little sad for the kids, but I'm sure next year I'll be able to help Scout find some more mischief.  :)

Now, on to Christmas Eve, which we spent at my parent's house!  

Gigi and the grandkiddos...

Uncle AJ and Bennett boo.

Bennett and his lion that he now sleeps with every night.

Aiden and his pirate ship!

Audrey and her new Hello Kitty purse.  (Thanks Gramma Jam!)  

Despite Audrey's surgery and the business surrounding hosting Christmas dinner, I was able to collect some cute PJ's for the kids so we could continue our tradition of opening new jammies on Christmas Eve.  Here's Bennett in his, complete with camo slippers.

And Aiden...

And Miss Audrey...

The end.  :)
