Santa 2014

We had a fun time going to see Santa this year. 

Holiday Lights at Constellation Field

We wanted to do some new things this year for the holidays. So last Saturday night we went to see the lights at Constellation Field and we are glad we did. It a lot fun, Elijah had a blast, and an added bonus was it was cold, so it felt like the holidays.

 I LOVE this picture of Elijah! 

 Writing his letter to Santa 

 Working hard 

Love these two very much! 

Special Delivery

Elijah also received a special delivery letter Santa Claus. In the package was a letter from Santa with Santa's special wax seal on it, a certificate saying Elijah was on the nice list, a sugar cookie recipe from Mrs. Clause, a picture of Santa, and reindeer dust. Guess this year Santa will be getting sugar cookies instead of chocolate chip ones. :) Got to enjoy these moments while you can!

Which List are You On?

Elijah recently received his special video message from Santa. When he watches this video Elijah finds out if he is on the nice list, the needs to work some list, or the naughty list. This year he was told...

...the nice list!

 One happy and probably a little thankful boy

Thanksgiving 2014

We had a very relaxing and laid back Thanksgiving this year. The last couple of years we have hosted friends for Thanksgiving Day but this year it was just the three of us. And it was just as special because we got to spend it together as a family.

 Elijah helping Byron make the cornbread, for the dressing, the night before.

 Elijah even got to play with our neighbor, Mariya for a long time.

She is in kinder at SCE as well. 

 He wanted to show me how he could write some sentences using his word wall words.

 Playing solider like the nutcracker

 The Thanksgiving feast prepared by Chef Byron 

Everything he made was from scratch except for the pie and peas.

The man can cook! 

 I am have many things to be thankful for in my life, but these 2 guys are my biggest blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Six Year Old Pictures

Well, this year's annual birthday pictures were a little different from years past. First of all, Elijah wasn't feeling well the day of the pictures. He was dealing with bad allergies. Second, I dropped the ball and didn't get his hair cut before the pictures like I normally do. And then, I forgot to get his number 6 for the pictures. But even with those 3 factors, we were very happy to be able to get some good pictures of him.
