Jingle Breakfast Day 7

We woke up this morning to find that Jingle had made us a special breakfast.  The boys each got a new plate, bowl and cup.  He also let them a puzzle, color book, socks, and an ornament with candy in a Santa bucket.  Breakfast was Cocoa Krispies, donuts and hot cocoa.  We also found a gingerbread village kit to do as a family.  It was a fun breakfast and one we all enjoyed.

Taking a relaxing bath.  The boys added some bath sponges so he has something to play with.

Sweets Homemade Candies Tour

This morning we took a tour of Sweets Homemade Candies with our MOMS Club. The kids each got to dip an Oreo and pretzel in chocolate and wrap up their own fudge and Carmel.  It was a fun and tasty tour.

Jingle Day 2

This morning we woke up to find Jingle "fishing" on our counter.

New Mantle

Our new house did not have a mantle above the fire place.  I love mantles and especially love to decorate them for holidays so we knew it would be something we would need to add.    We were super excited when the mantle arrived on Saturday.  It makes such a big difference.

Jingle Returns

The boys woke up this morning to find that our elf Jingle had returned.  He was just "hanging around" with a note for the boys.  It said "Hi Trevor and Cole!  Remember Me?"

The boys are already trying to guess where Jingle will show up tomorrow.

Our new patio

Our new house has a huge unfinished back yard.  We were going to wait until the spring to start any work but the wind kept blowing a lot of dirt in the house.  We decided to have our patio work done now to help reduce the dirt.

Here is the back of our house before the patio.

 The first day they came and leveled out the ground and laid boards to outline the porch.

 Trevor was very happy that they left their "tools" overnight.

 Watching the workers pour the cement.

 Finished!!

Legend's Christmas Tree Lighting

Tonight we braved the cold for an hour to watch the Christmas Tree lighting event at Legend's.  It was fun to start the Christmas season off with Christmas music, The Grinch Stole Christmas story and the lighting of the tree.  The big finale was a fireworks display which was one of the best we have ever seen.  It was a fun evening.

Lake Mansion Jingles with Art and History

We attended the Lake Mansion Jingles with Art and History event today at VSA Nevada.  The boys got to visit with Santa where Trevor asked for a guitar for Christmas.  They were also able to do several crafts and tour the mansion.

Mickey Mouse Day

Today is Mickey Mouse's birthday. We went to a Mickey Mouse playdate and made Mickey ears and had Mickey cookies and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Happy Birthday Mickey!
