Pinot and his latest tricks...

Pinot digs a good zip line ride...

..

.

...Or maybe a ride on a racoon chasing a candy corn?

...

..

.

Either way, this elf is hip ;)

...

Santa sent some candy with a little note telling the kids to be good...yes they ate it for breakfast :)
...
We've been crazy busy getting ready for Christmas this last week! I'm so excited to give gifts this year!

...a couple in particular really have me not being able to wait for Christmas to just GET HERE!

Elf Wars...

Pinot.

.

.

Just a friendly little marshmallow war ;)

.

The kids haven't awaken yet this morning...

..

.

I'm up early, still wrapping my head around the fact

that a crazy person killed 28 people yesterday - 20 of them being kindergarteners...

.

Averys age.

I have been crying off and on since last night.

There really are no words to describe the horror with a tragedy such as this.

I pray for all the families.

I pray for my friends that have been severely affected by this.

The nation as a whole is mourning and will be for quite some time...

OCD & Cars...

It's a joke at our house that Cash is a tad OCD...

.

.

.

Pinot has learned a few behaviors while visiting the Meyer residents...

.

Cash appreciated this move.

He lines his cars up-as well as a few others things-and was impressed with Pinots mad lining skills ;)

GO PINOT!

Snow Angels

Pinot's a funny elf :)

He got into the flour sometime this early morning

and made a snow angel.

.

.

He sure has been a delight!

This is a pretty fun tradition.

It sure gets the kids out of bed quicker in the morning--

-wait...is that such a good thing??

riding with dinosaurs!

When the kids woke up this morning it was a mad dash to find, Pinot!----

--

-

Silly old elf!

Cash says: 'He's riding Averys dinosaur!...REALLY!'

awesome :)

Elf Mischief Day #1...

Pinot knew that the kids had their first dentist appoint yesterday-----so he decided to help himself to some oral hygiene!

....

..

.

Silly little elf!

Tricks aren't just for kids ;)

Oh little elf!

Today was the kids very first Dentist appointment----ever----

...

They did SO good-I mean, AMAZING!

...

We went to the Cracker Barrel to eat afterwards and they each picked out a sucker----

--that were as big as their faces! My Lord, I laughed so hard.

.

Parenting at its finest ;)

We also got a little something else for the kids.

Meet Pinot.

Santa felt like these two need an extra eye on them through this holiday season.

He's our extra 'insurance' that they behave through all the December chaos.

.

We shall see what sort of shenanigans Pinot decides to get into.

Could be exciting! ;)
