Catching Up

With winter break approaching, I found this to be a good opportunity to get-to-bloggin'!  Here are the pics from our 2nd-annual setting-up-the-tree party.

Mints for Mint Plates

(Daddy's idea)

 

 

 Eggnog is always such a good idea, but nobody usually drinks it but me.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

 

Apple Cider

This Year's Ornaments 

Sophie's

And while trying to hang it, the unmentionable happens...

Ella's

It opens!!!!  OMG!

The Family Ornament

Brock's

Ella's ornament from kindergarten that I loved so much.  Five seconds after hanging it on the tree, she threw it away.

Elfie had not made an appearance yet, so Ella gave her best Elfie impression.  In her words, "He's kinda creepy."

 I get a couple good pics before...

reality sets in.

Stayed tuned...lots more to come!
