Getting Ready for Christmas


Well Christmas kinda came early...Uncle T let us borrow their wii. Since the new nintendo system is coming out soon we hated to buy a wii u at full price so long live the wii. And since we have the option to play Mario everyday, Sage's life is now complete. Don't worry I don't even begin to let them play as much as he talks about Mario.

Sage = Mario all day every day. I think he dreams about Mario!


A quick picture of our house all lit up. Not the best but my good camera was in the shop. D lit up the back of the house too. and all our little trees in the frond and side too! Love love Christmas lights. 

One night we drove around our neighborhood  (no seat belts) and looked at ligths. It was a blast! 

An elf arrived. We named him Chilly. (note - shade started crying one morning because all the other kids in his class have an elf and such and he hasn't had one at school since kindergarten. and it has been on his christmas list for three years now. 😁😂 i mean come on santa send the kid an elf. so he showed up about a week before christmas. pure magic! and who doesn't love a good game of hide and seek. always a favorite around here! 

We wrote to Santa and he wrote back


We took a trip to see Santa and rode the train. We even ate out! Living on the wild side these days! Blaze pizza was amazing and I would highly recommend. 


Obviously Z wasn't too happy. As we approached Santa he started backing up and saying "no". Santa grabbed him and this is what we got. One of these days we will get dressed and look the part right rather than this crazy ole bunch of bums like usual. Oh well. 



of course we had to take a picture with this cute guy! 
We wrapped presents and I had great help! And well my room looked like a bomb went off for at least a month! 



We decorated the tree and the house too
D found the perfect spot for it at this house and it worked out awesome since we didn't have to move much furniture. Double bonus! 




And the kids worked on the downstairs tree. Not sure what z is thinking here but thats quite the jump and forbidden around here.


Christmas Bingo, dance parties and piggy back rides were a fun treat at night. 



And christmas light scavenger hunt again this year with coffee and hot chocolate! We almost found them all. 

We had fun celebrating the season with lots to do! But still time to remember the real reason we get to celebrate!
