It's Looking A Lot Like Christmas Around Here

I'd like to say that last week was a bit more relaxed than the week before, but it wasn't. We've managed to keep this train moving right along. Get it?!? Since we went on the Santa train last week?!?

Whatever works, right?!?

I'm pretty sure this is payback for coloring on wall of our den when I was little

You know it's winter when there is a huge pile of boots on the floor of your room. And yes those are snow boots on top.

The kids received a jingle delivery last week from their friends, Finnley and Sully. The kids were so excited to open the door to find a whole lot of goodies for them. How awesome is my friend, Kandace for including milk and cookies in the delivery?!?

I spy a little doggie...

This past weekend we made a trip to So Cal to celebrate Christmas with our families. 

Rory loves the scene in Home Alone where Jeff throws his bag down the stairs and yells, "bombs away!" So I told Rory he could throw his backpack down the stairs...

BOMBS AWAY!!!

Rian was beyond bored waiting to go.

So this little girl does not let Rory sleep.
Rian, Rory is trying to go to sleep!

Yeah she didn't listen...

Rian, I'm trying to get some sleep!

We had "Christmas morning" with my mother-in-law on Sunday morning.

And then we were off to my parents's house to have Christmas with them. You guessed it, Rian's bored...again!

Oh what, was there no room on the floor for you to sit?

Ralphie's shenanigans...

Dec 15: zip-lining from the tree

Dec 16: Taking sides! I guess Randy's been talking with Ralphie lately. I hate to break it to you two...that does not look like Pinky! Pinky is a Rat Terrier and that is a Doberman Pincher.

Dec 17: Pretending he's a spy?!? Um, Ralphie, turning your hat sideways doesn't really count as a disguise.

Dec 18: He left a little treat in Rory's lunch. 

Dec 19: He set up our village on top of our fireplace. And when I say village it's barely even a street. My mom gave Rian these this year so that we can start building the cozy town of Harringtonville. Thanks Ralphie. I've been meaning to set it up.

Dec 20: shaving

Dec 21: He sent me this picture to show Rory that he was keeping Rory's bed warm while we were away in Cali. Rory was not amused! He just smirked and walked away.

Well that's all folks! I'll be back tomorrow to round up all of our Christmas fun.

xoxo
