the elf and such:)

My dear friend Maureen is the queen of the holiday season and I can thank her for the idea to do something Christmasy each day in the month of December. (You can read her blog here!) She did it last year with her son and I couldn't wait to plan our month! Granted Adelyn is just starting to learn about Santa, the elves, reindeer, Frosty, and the North Pole but I still thought we could do little things throughout the month to make it a little more special:) Here are our first 5 activities...

Decorating the tree

Making Christmas gifts and fudge

Christmas pictures

Painting the gifts (please be surprised because probably everyone reading this is getting one!) & celebrating Waylan:)

Finishing up the Barbie tree

Also, since Adelyn is starting to understand the presents and Santa so on and so forth we introduced her to the Elf this year:) Aunt Lucy gave it to Adelyn her first Christmas but this year since she is starting to understand things we thought we'd break him out.  Pinterest is amazing because there are a million Elf on the Shelf ideas!  Here are his first 5 days...
                                                  The Elf started with a North Pole Breakfast

It was a like  for the "hot" chocolate

And a dislike on the "snow covered" doughnut:)

Gotta love the bed head...Adelyn has best!

Napping on Adelyn's felt ornaments

Tea Party

Adelyn had to join in the next morning:)
