Everyone in our house got a hair cut yesterday! I got a bunch of my hair cut off too!

My shortest layer is shoulder length!

Abigail before (a few weeks ago)

And after her hair cut yesterday! It looks so healthy now!

Christmas 2011

While I'm busy making dinner, here's the link to our Christmas photos so far! Enjoy! (I'll do a real post later!)

Christmas 2011

Our first gingerbread house!

We just decorated our very first gingerbread house!

Overnight snow

We got a lot of snow throughout the night. We went out and shoveled the driveway last night and this is what we woke up to this morning.

Pajama pants

I made some new pajama pants for the kids yesterday. Austin got a new pair of Charlie Brown Christmas pajamas and Abigail (and her baby) got matching argyle ones!

Santa 2011

They've come a long way since this picture,

to this picture!

Santa 2011

Where did my babies go?

Our Elf on the Shelf

We adopted an elf this year! If you haven't heard about The Elf on the Shelf before click here for the story.

On Thanksgiving we read the book that came with our elf. At the end of the book we had to pick a name for our elf and decide if it was going to be a boy or a girl. We named our elf "Ernie" after the great Ernie Harwell! The morning after Thanksgiving, the kids woke up to a letter from Santa and the elf sitting on the potpourri in the living room.

Day 1

On day 2 Ernie was sitting on the window sill. After he flies to the North Pole every night to give Santa his report on Austin and Abigail he comes back and positions himself in a different spot.

Day 3, Ernie found his way onto the Christmas tree after returning from the North Pole.

And a bonus picture of the whole Christmas tree and stockings!

One of these days I'll get around to posting pictures of the whole house!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are some pictures from Austin's turkey lunch yesterday at school.

Abigail and I pulled our chairs up to Austin's desk to eat our lunch.

After lunch, the kids read their "Angry Turkey" stories aloud. They all wrote their own stories.

It was fun to hear all the different stories they came up with! They all put their pictures up on the projector so the whole class could see them.

On to our Thanksgiving feast! It was just us again this year, but that didn't stop us from making a big dinner! I love cooking my turkey in a bag, it's so good!

All the goodies to go with it!

Yummmm, my favorite! You can't have Thanksgiving without sweet potatoes!

The turkey without the bag.

Carving the turkey!

We've had lunch and we're ready for a nap!

This is a picture of Austin's place mat from school. I love what he's thankful for!

- My family

-Grandparents

-Frinds (friends)

- I am thankful for my pet Lexi

Love him!

And a finished picture of the napkins! I love how they turned out, I might have to make some for myself!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey day at school

Abigail and I are going to lunch at Austin's school so I made some matching shirts for them to wear! This is obviously before Abigail got her hair done for the day!

Personalized napkins

A picture of the personalized napkins for my favorite mother in law!

Feeling negative

The wind has been blowing all night. And this morning we got our first feel of what negative weather is going to feel like! While it was only 11 degrees, notice what the "real feel" temperature was! I bundled Austin up and sent him to the bus stop a little later than normal!
