Jake The Elf

 

So if you haven't heard about what elfs do when your asleep, I'll tell you. Its kinda like the movie Toy Story, they come to life when your not around. So each morning Jake would be in a different room, doing something different, after he had returned from the North Pole. I didn't get pictures of all of the spots. But here are just a few things that Jake did while he visited our house. 

 

 

 

 

Saint Nick - And a special surprise!

So Cooper wrote his letter to Santa and left it out the night before St. Nick came (Dec 6th). Well St. Nick left a few little surprises for Cooper and Gwen, but he also left an elf from the North Pole. (An Elf on the Shelf). I had been debating about jumping on that band wagon for a while. But I think its really cute. So we decided to start it this year.

Forever Joe has been wanting to get Cooper a Santa's Workshop to play with during Christmas time. He had something like that growing up. So we found a little one that we really liked. 

 Cooper is really into the movie Frosty this year. So he was super excited about his new musical Frosty book.

 Excited about his new elf friend. 

 

 

Hmmmm.. thinking about what he should name his new elf. And the name he decided on..... JAKE. Must be inspired from the Disney show "Jake and the Neverland Pirates."

New Christmas Tree

 I've been talking about getting a white Christmas tree and making it modern for years. Well once we were in our new house last year, we decided our 6ft regular tree seemed kinda dinky in our living room with vaulted ceilings. So we have been on the lookout for a tree that was a little taller. All of a sudden we ran across this one at Hobby Lobby. 50% OFF. To say the least I was very excited!! MOD tree here we come. These pictures are not the best, but you get the idea. And this was before we decided how to decorate it.
