My Appliqued Stockings
I had these stockings made last year by my mother-in-law, but that was pre-blog and now I get to share them! I love, love, love these stockings! I found them at Hobby Lobby, and then had my MIL appliqué the first letter of each of our names and embroider our names through them. I loved these so much that I bought an extra stocking and more fabric just in case our family needs five one day 😉

Day 4 – Sick Elf
The flu is going around our house and Max was not immuned. Poor little elf got sick. Brogan felt well enough this morning to go searching for Max and couldn’t believe he was sick too! Hoping everyone in this house gets better soon! Click here to see what else our elf has done this year.

Day 3 – Paper Sack Race
Max decided to have a paper sack race with some of his buddies. Ole’ Woody got a little competitive at the end, but Max pulled off a win. Unfortunately my boys were pretty sick today (they’ve got the flu!!), so Brogan wasn’t as excited about Max as he has been. They’ll be better soon and be back in the holiday spirit.

Road trip with my boys… all by myself
Part of being married means you’ve got to split holidays. So for Blake and me, it means we alternate Thanksgiving and Christmas between Georgia and Florida. And this year, it’s was Thanksgiving in Florida. However, this year presented a small complication… Blake recently started a new job… and his new restaurant happens to be open for Thanksgiving… and Thanksgiving happens to be one of their busiest days. And so not wanting to miss the holiday with my family I decided I would brave the trip solo with the boys. Yes, you heard right. Despite all of the prior experiences that would point to this not being a good idea, I…

Day 2 – Pirate Max finds his treasure!
Day 2 of our Elf on the Shelf had Max dressed like a pirate who found his treasure. Equipped with a treasure map and sword, Max certainly played the part. Brogan thought he was pretty silly, and Beckett wanted to play with all of his loot. Max’s presence has had Brogan on his best behavior – one reminder that Max is watching has Brogan stopping… and thinking… and choosing to behave. Can we have an elf all year round?!? Anyways, it’s been a fun start to this Christmas season! Can’t wait for all the other fun that Max has in store! Click here to see what else our elf has…

Max has returned! Day 1 – Excavating Candy
We came home today from our trip to Florida (more on that later) to find that our Elf on the Shelf Max has returned! He joined our family last Christmas and if last year was any indication, there will be lots of elf shenanigans going on this house again! Day 1 was Max excavating the leftover Halloween candy. I know, I know, how do we have any leftover Halloween candy? Well, we put it up so the boys couldn’t get into it and out of sight, out of mind, I suppose. Brogan was the first to see Max when he walked in and he was SO excited. He was excited…
