Elfred Jingle
This holiday season, we have a visitor in our house!!
His name is Elfred Jingle, and he's visiting from the North Pole! Santa had picked our family to house an Elf in Training!! (If we take extra good care of him, he'll pass his E.L.F. tests at the North Pole and be a full blown Elf!! Then he will get to return to us every year!)
Elfred reports to the North Pole every night while we are asleep, telling Santa if Skyler has been a good girl, and then returns to our house before we wake up!
He arrived early in the morning on December 1st, with a letter from Mrs. Claus and an advent calendar for Skyler!
So far he's done a pretty wide variety of things, including baking cookies over night (ginger snaps) and playing with Skyler's toys. She must have been especially good yesterday, because he arrived with a sticker album and three sheets of stickers!
**Elfred is similar to, but not part of the Elf on the Shelf program.

Four Generations! (And a teaser!)
I'm in the process of sifting through the 1000+ photos I took over Thanksgiving Weekend! But I wanted to give you a teaser shot! (I'm sort of going backwards through my memory card, so it's one of the last shots I took!)
We were lucky enough to have both Great Grandma and Daddy in town all at the same time! So I snapped a Four Generations Shot!!
Stay tuned for more fun stories and photos over the next few days as I get going!!

Bye Bye Daddy...
Hi everyone!
It's me, Skyler, again. Mommy is busy getting ready for our Thanksgiving today, so I wanted to write you a quick letter.
My Daddy left yesterday, he was only home for a few days. But we had a lot of fun while he was here.
We both wore are 'Ari shirts. (Mommy says to tell you that it's actually Ferrari, and that I just say it 'cute'.)
Mommy and Daddy both cooked a really yummy turkey dinner too. We had Turkey, and stuffing. Mashed potatoes, gravy and Cranberries. My favorite was the Potatoes, I think because I got to help mash them. That was fun, and messy!

Daddy is Home!
Daddy has been home for 3 days now, and Skyler is about as happy as any little girl could be!
We've had a lot of fun playing outside (the weather here in Southern Colorado has been beautiful! Mid to upper 60's!)
But so far, her favorite activity has been playing Candy Land! (Her first ever attempt at a board game!!) While she was definitely too young to actually play, she did have a ton of fun trying to learn her colors and move the little men around the board.
