Christmas Eve Elf Shenanigans

I thought we would give you a glimpse of some of the silly things Mr. Elfis (our Elf) did Christmas Eve before returning to Santa Claus.  We went to Dallas on Monday and luckily our elf (who Gabby named Snowball, then Snowball Snow Flake, but whose name is really Mr. Elfis) hopped in a car seat so he could make the journey safely to Grandma and Grandpa's and meet Ralphie, Emma and Brody's Elf.

Here are the shenanigans they got into while waiting for Santa to arrive and while we were all asleep:


Proof that the elves took these photos all by themselves.  If you look closely between the first two photos you can see Mr. Elfis' hand move pushing the button.  



Snacking on the kid's gingerbread houses.

Drinking Gabby's milk hanging upside down.
What were they thinking?!
Soaring with the eagles (Gabby's favorite bird).



Ralphie riding a horse.

Ralphie sneaking in a stocking.

Mr. Elfis sliding down the banister



Checking halfway through their shenanigans to see where Santa is using Santa Tracker.


Retaliation to the toys that tied them up and silly stringed them.


Opening one of Gabby's gifts from Santa before leaving with him.

The elves left these photos on my camera.  After opening gifts we set up the photos on the television to see our photos from opening gifts and were surprised by the photos the elves had left on the camera for us to enjoy.  Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much! It was super fun watching the surprise in the kid's eyes when we discovered the photos.

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.
