Welcome to the Family, Zippy

We have a new addition to our family! A couple weeks ago Santa sent us our very own Elf! He was sweet enough to bring us a breakfast, straight from the North Pole... he brought a mountain of snow donuts, hot chocolate, marshmallows, and even had new socks for each of the girls! He had notes for all 3 girls, reminding them to be super good, letting them know that Santa knows what they would like for Christmas, and telling them that he would be watching them every day and then taking a report of the behavior to Santa every night. We named him Zippy, cause, man, is he fast!
Abbie LOVED the snow donuts!
We soon found out that Zippy was very, very mischevious once he returned from the North Pole. Just look what he did to the picture of my gorgeous girls!
The next morning we woke to find him playing (and betting) cards with some of our favorite stuffed animals!
This is just the beginning of his mischevious ways... I will post the other photos when I have time. He is proving to be a very sneaky, sneaky Elf. Daddy is threatening to call Santa and tell him what Zippy has been up to! I hope he gets to stay!

Abbie's House

I made Abbie a little "house" out of the box that Zippy, our elf, brought the kitchenette in. She LOOOOVED it! She went in and out of it for at least 25 minutes, going in, closing the door, sitting down, standing up, coming out and hugging me, and starting all over again. She is so stinkin' cute!

Life is so busy!

Ugh! It has been so, so long since I have blogged! I had no idea our lives could be so busy. :/ Wish school, soccer, piano, violin, church callings, trips, and about a thousand other things, I just haven't had time to keep this thing updated. I NEED to catch it up, as I am using this as a sort of "journal" about some of our happenings, I just haven't had time. HOPEFULLY, I can update soon... realistically, it will probably be after our trip to Disney World NEXT WEEK! Eeek! We are SO excited!
