We went on a scavenger hunt this morning, trying to find the gingerbread man! Once they found him, they took turns hiding the clues in new spots so the others could find it again. Elf success again! 😉

The elves just keep on insisting that we need more holiday decorations! This morning they brought a champagne christmas tree for the living room (that matches out sparkly ceiling) and a rattan rudolph. Who am I to say no to such cute faces.

Elves love WAFFLES! {and so do these kids.} Thomas was super excited to help me make them, and all three kids enjoyed them very well.

Hot chocolate!

Today, it felt like a little spring decided to… well.. spring here in Colorado.

The kids played out back riding their scooters, while Marcus was excited to ride on Buzz’s spaceship again. The noisy, button pushing, light up, buzz animated sit on rider.

You may remember it from his first birthday?

Oh yes, it is still one of his favorites.

What once started as fiber was spun to yarn.

…and knit and knit… And others joined in.

…and continued on when others moved on…

It’s hard to have a picnic in January, in the morning, in Colorado.

Wait. No it’s not.

Pancake picnic, a’la living room.
