December Happenings!

December went by so fast and was over before I knew it!  Just a few random pictures of our December happenings and in very random order.

Caroline at the ward Christmas Party

The kids and I visited the temple for some pictures

After the temple, we hit the Olive Garden 

Jimmy, our elf, came to visit us on the 1st of December

The boys started their 1st lacrosse season

And Jake was awarded the "game stick" after the first scrimmage

Caroline went on a shopping spree at the American Girl store. We now have our very own personal shopper at the store.  

Christmas morning did happen!

And we did decorate a gingerbread man

We hope everyone had a wonderful December!!!

till next year Jimmy

Jimmy left our house after helping Santa deliver toys and goodies to our house on Christmas day. The kids were surprised to wake up and find that Jimmy had left them a letter, along with a few treats. Jimmy will be missed...especially by Caroline, who cried a few tears when she realized Jimmy wouldn't be around to talk to and play silly pranks.
It looks like Jimmy found my stack of Christmas cards. I guess he decided I would never send them out, so he decided to put one to good use.

Jimmy left 3 popcorn containers for the kids, Angry Bird fruit snacks, air head candy, and cry baby bubble gum.

C-R-A-Z-Y Jimmy....

We are really going to miss our crazy Elf!

Jimmy

After sleeping for so many nights, it looks like Jimmy woke up with an appetite.
Eat & Be Merry.

snow angels

I think someone is missing the snow...

J-I-M-M-Y....

Jimmy attacked Caroline's hair bow container last night.

I'm thinking red is his color...even though he favors Mickey Mouse.

a busy Jimmy

It looks like Jimmy has been one busy elf at the North Pole.
For the last couple of days Jimmy has been taking it easy.

night night Jimmy

looks like someone had a late night at the North Pole....

sweet dreams Jimmy.

Jimmy

Read a good book lately, Jimmy?

crazy Jimmy

Recently, someone sent us a couple of scratch-n-play lottery tickets. We were lucky enough to score about 10 bucks total. Not too shabby! However, it looks like Jimmy wants to keep our winnings...

Crazy Jimmy!

Jimmy & his questions....

Yes, Jimmy! You are cool, funny, and cute!
Your outlook is Good.

early Christmas...

On Saturday, our elf, Jimmy, brought back an early Christmas present from the North Pole. It's the one thing our kids have been asking for. The kids were surprised when they arrived home on Saturday evening to be greeted by Jimmy at the back door. Jimmy left arrows sending them to the direction that left the kids their early Christmas surprise (I just didn't get the picture of their surprise while it was in the box).....

Jimmy plays a tune

Jingle Bells
Batman Smells
Robin Laid an Egg
The Batmobile Lost a Wheel
And Joker got away

Silly Jimmy!

Do you sleep Jimmy?

Looks like Jimmy had fun playing last night in Cee Cee's doll house. It also looks like he made a lady friend.

Jimmy's breakfast request

Looks like after visiting the North Pole last night, Jimmy was pretty hungry...

attack of the tree

I guess Jimmy thought it was a grand idea to wrap the Christmas tree last night.
Too bad "he" got busted by a 9 year old in the process!

i heart jim

Hot chocolate anyone?
Apparently, Jimmy does during the night.
Cute cup Jimmy....only I can heart Jim.

silly Jimmy

Silly Jimmy.
That's not your tooth brush!

silly Jimmy

Is Jimmy really reporting back to Santa at night?
He seems awfully busy playing jokes in the house at night.
He is so funny. It looks like he decorated the tree in Duke Basketball jerseys this time.

Now, where the heck is our tree topper at?

silly Jimmy

Looks like our elf was pretty busy last night.

After following a trail of Rapunzel's hair through the kitchen, up the stairs, and into Cee Cee's room, we found Jimmy.
He was hanging out with Rapunzel on Cee Cee's bed and he had a ball of Rapunzel's hair in his hands.
Silly Jimmy!
