Kicking off the Christmas season

Upon returning from Cincinnati, our Elf, Chris, also returned from the North Pole to ensure that the kids stay on the "nice" list! He gets into a bit of mischief while we are sleeping...the kids get the biggest kick out of seeing where he'll be when they wake up. While getting the house all spruced up for the holiday season, we also tackled the leaved that were piling up outside. Luckily, we had a warm spell and had near 70 degrees yesterday. The perfect day to rake and bag leaves. The kids helped, but they mostly like jumping in the piles of leaves!

Having fun...

Chris, our elf, taking a cotton ball "bubble bath"...it was an exhausting day, I guess.

Here's Chris with the marshmallow snowmen he made to add to our Christmas village. Silly Elf!

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!
