Christmas Fun

We had a great Christmas this year. Even though sickness was all around, we managed to stay healthy until the day after Christmas (when Olivia came down with pink eye). William got a new scooter- he totally loves it. He is very coordinated, it took him no time at all to figure it all out. Chase got a calculator with a printer. He spent the whole day making everyone a tax bill, figuring all of their water, electricity, and taxes and giving them a bill. Olivia got an American Girl doll for her birthday so she got some accessories and clothes for her.

We had a big Christmas dinner with the whole family. It was mad house but super fun!

Dance Recital

Olivia takes dance lessons once a week. She had a Christmas dance recital this weekend. She did great! She did really well remembering her dance steps and even tried to help a few other girls along !

Our Elf Suprise

It has been our tradition that Elly, our Elf on the Shelf,  leaves us a present under our tree the first night the tree is up. She usually leaves us pajamas, but I found a good sale on pjs while Olivia and I were shopping so Elly needed to leave us a different gift this year ;)
She left us a magically book. As you read the book Santa gives you directions, teacher you about the North Pole, and ever responds to you. It is really cute,  and now Chase is old enough to read it to Olivia and William while Mommy makes dinner.
