Santa's on his way!

This is it! The night we have been talking about for 30+ days!! Riley is so excited that tonight, Santa comes!! He packs up his sleigh, and gets ready to make his journey all the way to our house! Scout {our Elf on the shelf} has officially made his last appearance....thank goodness {it became a challenge to figure out where to put him next} OK so I'm not gonna lie there were even a few mornings where I was like yikes....quick----distract her so I can move him to a new spot!! ;) It was super cute watching her tiny eyes scale the room each morning looking for him! I highly recommend him to everyone with children....The Elf on the Shelf amazon.com!

SO we headed to Gramma & Papa's house for a Christmas Eve feast! It was fantastic!! Turkey & ham, corn, and green beans, sweeeeeet potatoes, and creamy homemade mashed potatoes, Yankee style bread dressing {we are from the North} rolls, pie, cheesecake, cookies coffee and more! I always over eat, but hey that's what the holidays are all about right? I always feel like in the month of December I gain the "freshman 15" you all know what I'm talkin' about!! But it is sooo worth it!

We had great company and conversations, the kids love to spend time with their grandparents, and had a blast opening gifts!! We made some really great memories and I am so blessed and thankful for my wonderful family! Love you guys!
