The days leading up to Christmas 2019

And then December arrived....and our little elf Archer was back for the month.  To watch over the house and report back to Santa.  Definitely some ups and downs...but it's a crazy house filled with 3 kids, 2 parents and a dog...it's not always an IG dream!

Miss Millicent's turn to hold the flag at Chapel (thanks again Miss Brown).

Hi Mom!

Snuggles and smiles keep you young at heart!

This little lady sure loves her GG!

First Christmas dinner of the year...

Time for SANTA....and maybe we should have just stopped here.

Post Santa tradition of breakfast at McMenamins!

Our kids definitely like pancakes more than SANTA.

Next Christmas party and this one the kids got to come!!!

Time to decorate the tree....with the chaos of the garage filled from storage and an attic hard to access....we decided on just lights and bulbs this year and I LOVE IT!

Simple is just what our season needed!
