Hit the ground running~!

We have hit the ground running with Christmas at our house!

we are wearing our new Christmas PJ's Aunt Paige gave us,

our stockings, past Santa pictures, and nutcrackers are up,

our Nativity scene is set up,

our Christmas tree is up and decorated! We even have some wrapped presents underneath

our name plates are almost ready!

(I had the BEST idea about how Santa will figure out where to put each girls' presents! For some reason I have been stressed out about how to do this! BUT....I came up with this idea to make a directional sign to put up for Santa. I had these made, then Bryan is going to mount them to a post stand and paint it to look like a candy cane! I can't wait to see the finished product. And if any more kiddos are added to our family, we can just add another sign! I'll post pics when it's finished.I feel like I should quit my job and start making these!:))

our advent calendar is up and ready to begin on Wednesday

our table is decorated (and apparently one of our nutcracker is missing an eye!)

snowmen are up,

and the best part.......STEWIE, the elf is here! Christian was so excited to have Stewie back. We told her that Stewie's magic begins again when we read the story. So we read Elf on the Shelf to get things going for the Christmas season. She is so into it...a lot more than last year.

After we read the book, we laid Stewie out (since we can't touch him), so he could go tell Santa that it is time to start watching Christian and Emory's house! Wonder where he'll end up tomorrow morning!?
