Decorating for Christmas

We put up the Christmas tree and decorated the outside of the house

the day after Thanksgiving.

Ellie helping Daddy put the tree topper on

Chloe looking so cute by the tree

Riding horses

Ellie was pulling the babies around in their wagon

while Troy was putting up lights.  They

thought it was so much fun!

Serious Chloe

Luke 

Ellie

Ellie playing like the water hose was a gun

I was trying to get a picture of the 3 of them,

but that's almost impossible!

Chloe loves doing this pouty face!

We started the Elf on the Shelf tradition last year.

Elizabeth LOVES it! 

So, our Elf came back this year and 

he arrived in a package on the front porch.

I read the story to Ellie

Luke had fun helping too

We bought this Santa for the yard

this year.  The kids think it's great!

I caught Chloe "reading"

Luke, looking more and more like

a little boy than a baby.
