Elfie's mess today

Someone felt the need to add decor to the Tree! Raegan laughed soo hard this morning! That bad ol' elf!

The Jolly Old Elf

A visit to Santa was made in Branson when we were there for Thanksgiving.

Lots of wishes were made I'm sure!

Speaking of elves, we have started the Elf on the Shelf tradition at our household. Our Elf, named Elfie, has been having a bit too much fun here!

Christmas tree

This past Monday, we went in search of a beautiful Christmas tree. It wasn't long, till we found it and was headed home ;)

Getting ready for Christmas

Monday, R & I went to Target, so she could get some ideas for her wish list for Santa. Here are a few of her ideas :) ( We did this last year, went thru Target and took pictures of what she wanted with the cell phone! Great idea for forgetful moms like me!!!)

A Horse w/all the 'horsey stuff'

And Christmas pictures were taken on yesterday! Glad to have gotten that done! Here she is showing off!

Happy Turkey day!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I am thankful for so much this year. Health, family, friends, our home, my church, J's new job, and much more to name!

We had Thanksgiving with J's family on this past Saturday. Of course I didn't hardly take any pics! But did get one of the cute Turkey my sis in law made! My oven is out, so my contribution was limited to a apple pie I baked at my mil's house!

New oven is first on the list after Thanksgiving!!! Gotta get it back, so i can bake some cakes! And other holiday goodies!

Christmas shopping is underway! I LOVE deal shopping!!! I have gotten some great buys already! I love that my list is getting shorter and not too bad on the pocket book!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Not much going on around here..

One reason I didn't want to blog was because I hate when blogs go w/o being updated! And here I go! I understand now why people that blog, don't have something every day. Some days there is just not much to share!

Last Saturday, we got to attend J's company picnic. It was the first one they had ever had and it was a blast. TONS of stuff for the kids to do. YuMMy food, giant turkey legs, boudain, hamburgers, sausage, links, ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn, etc.. Cupcake decorating, wax hands, military dog tags, face painting, fun balloons, big jumpers for the kids and live bands. We really enjoyed it.

This week, I have been working at the book fair at school. I love getting to help out at the school! The kids are so cute and so sweet. Like the little red head this morning, that hollered out "HI Raegan's mom"! LOL, that is how they know me as!

Looking forward to this Saturday. Time with the family for Thanksgiving! Also, looking forward to NO SCHOOL next week! Whohoo! Christmas pictures and loads of fun next week.

No time to add pictures today, will come back and post later.

Have a great rest of the week!

Halloween

Happy Belated Halloween! Hope you all had a great, fun night! We did. So glad its over though! We have enough candy to last a few months at least!

Lots of fun starting on Thursday night. Homecoming parade. We got soo much candy and got to hear and see Cherokee!! Purple treat bags at school Friday for homecoming (all purple candy LOL) A costume bday party for a sweet sixteen year old on Friday night! Then to sister in laws church on Saturday night for a AWESOME Fall Festival. Lots of crafts, cake walk, trunk or treat, good food and fun. Sunday, I baked for the teachers. We had treats for the teachers at school. Then finally Monday.. Halloween Treat bags were sent home and  Trick or Treated Monday night.

For the treat bags on Monday, I made a couple ideas I had seen on Pinterest.. Have I said how ADDICTED I am to this site? OMW, its such fun! But at least I can say I am using ideas (cooked last nights supper from there!) and not just storing away ideas for a rainy day :)

Mummy juice boxes,  Scarecrow candy people and Peep Smore's in a bag. 

 Also made these, off of pinterest (for craft sale) Mummy oreo's on a stick!

Anway, back to Halloween... Rae was a Polka Dotted Witch. Turned out super cute I think! Got tons of compliments on her outfit. Mimi did a great job!

Playing a game at trunk or treat..

Have a great rest of the week. Its November!!!!!! Time to get ready for Christmas!!!
