{Ice Skating} Downtown Raleigh

Every year we go to the downtown ice skating rink. This is always a big hit with the kids! Camden does really well. Bexley always needs my help at 1st, but this year she got the hang of it quickly! We had so much fun and we love that Raleigh offers this in December! Always a fun tradition of ours!!!

{Christmas Morning}

We had such a great Christmas morning! Santa was so good to us this year! The kiddos had fun playing with all of their new stuff all weekend long! My parents came in from Iowa which was a big treat for us AND my brother was able to visit us the next day! Merry Christmas!

{Elfie} This Christmas!

Elfie was at it again this year at our house! I wasn't the best about taking pics at all of the spots he was in, but the kids loved having him back this year! Here are some of his cutest moments!!!

Teacher Elfie

Chef Elfie

Elfie rode in the car with us!

Elfie fell off of our reindeer statue and was injured. He had to spend the day in bed!

Brrr...luckily he didn't eat all of our food!

Darth Vader Elfie

Candy Cane hunt!

{Bexley Tooth #6} Gone!

Bexley finally lost her other top tooth! It was so loose and on the way home from the Cole Family Christmas she yanked it out in the car!....Then she lost the tooth in the car twice! Luckily, we found it! Another Tooth Fairy visit in the books!

See the yellowing bruise under her eye ~ collision at P.E.! I just can't get over her cuteness!

{Christmas Time} Neighbor Gift

It's that time of year again...NEIGHBOR GIFTS! I thought this was SO cute, so I did it!

{Christmas Time} Gingerbread House Buidling

Gingerbread House building is SO much fun for the kids! This year I opted for the chocolate one instead of the gingerbread one. The kids did such a good job! Best house yet!!!

I did face paint this year...totally kidding. She was at a birthday party before! Ha!

Eating more than decorating!

Hard at work!

Final product!

{Elfie} Returns!

He's back!!! Normally he comes back spelling out "I'm back" in M&M's, but this year I guess he decided to do things a little differently!
