Dear Santa

Happy Wednesday Friends!! This week has been SO CRAZY! Between getting ready for Santa Shop at Ella's school, working on Etsy orders, blogging, having a new puppy, and every day life.....I am EXHAUSTED! 
But hey...'Tis the Season! 

Last week, Santa and Mrs. Claus came to Ella's school!! We had Cookies with Santa!! The PTO host the event. You get your picture made with Santa, make reindeer food, enjoy a cookie and milk! We also have a Silent Auction, so you can Christmas shop in the process!! It works out perfect!! 

So a few nights before, I got the kids to write their letters to Santa.! Well, Ella wrote her letter. Ian said "I am not writing a letter to Santa". We had "the talk" about Santa this year, so he wasn't falling for it! :( 



She downloaded an app that she can "text" Santa! 


As you can read the last thing on her list was a pug puppy! 

This was her asking Santa oh so nicely for a pug puppy! Mrs. Claus' face is priceless! HA 

My sweet "babies" with Santa and Mrs. Claus! 

We had a great evening visiting with friends and talking with the jolly guy in the red suit! 

Feel free to print your own list! Just right click, save, and print! 

So "Mrs.  Claus" did a little research this past Friday and found a pug puppy! "Santa" made an early visit to our house and delivered a pug puppy on Sunday! 

Meet Trixie! 
This is when we picked her up Sunday! 
Ella was one happy little girl! 
On our way home! 
Santa Paws! 
Sweet Trixie girl! 
She came to school with me for a little while yesterday afternoon! 
The large utility tote was a perfect fit for a pug puppy! HA 

Hope you guys have an AWESOME Day!!

Moving into the living room! 
My shelf is fun to change out for seasons, as well!  
I love the red truck with Christmas tree!  
 
I have added a ribbon to the top of the tree since I took this picture! 
I really love how my mantle turned out!!  
The kids FAVORITE Christmas decoration is the Hot Chocolate station!! HA! 

The kids each have a small tree in their rooms!

Happy Birthday Ian

Happy Birthday to my Ian Michael!
This boy made me a mom 12 years ago today! He stole my heart the moment I knew I was pregnant! 
I am SO proud of the young man that he is becoming! 
He is smart, funny, sarcastic, and has a heart of gold...even though he would NEVER let anyone know that! HA 
He HATES attention on him but he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it! 
He LOVES golf and plays any chance that he can! He begs Ben to take him all the time! 
Ian Michael we LOVE you so much and know that you will go far in life! 

Hope you have a GREAT day, bubs! 

Love, Daddy, Mommy, and Ella!!

Life Lately

Happy Thursday Friends!! Hope everyone has had a great week!! 
Just wanted to share a little bit of life lately around here!! 

This past Saturday we had friends and family over to watch the GA/GA Tech game....which we lost by a point:(

Of Course, The Smith's came over!! 
Jud wanted in our our selfie! HA 
The kiddos plus Ben and Cory played football!! 
Ben's dad and yes he's a GA Tech fan.......
Duke hates when I hold Daisy! HA 
Playing cards
Ben blew up the big screen and we watched 'Christmas Vacation'
Duke was exhausted after a FULL day of company! Bless his heart!! 
Sunday we skipped church and enjoyed a quiet day at home with coffee and a fire! 
and snuggling on the couch with a book and my favorite boy! 
We have been "texting" Santa! 
We watched 'Country Christmas'
I have shipped lots of 'Oh My Glitter' orders
I have consumed LOTS of coffee and read 2 books! They were quick reads :) 
And this girl has been dying to "touch" the elves, so they come back from the North Pole yesterday morning in a jar so she could "hold" them! HA
Also, Ella made her school's Science Olympiad Team! SO PROUD of her!! 

The next 3 weeks are going to be super busy but super fun!! 

What have you been up to lately??
