It's beginning to look alot like...

Christmas!!

The most exciting thing that we did to start off the Christmas traditions in our house, was to welcome back our elf, Sphrunkles!  The girls had been eager for his arrival for MONTHS.  He didn't disappoint - he showed up on Thanksgiving morning and he even brought us elf-sized pancakes - yumm!  Sphrunkles goes back to the North Pole tonight (since I am writing this on Christmas Day) but we sure have enjoyed him being around - I am sure tomorrow will be a sad day when he isn't here anymore!  We'll miss you Sphrunkles - see you next year!

 Later Thanksgiving weekend, we started decorating the house - the girls were excited to help decorate the tree and the outside of the house too!
