Chips Farewell and Christmas Day

 Remember the seeds we planted?
 This is what grew from them.
 This is the smile that resulted from those magical North Pole seeds.
 Well...I have a already discussed this day in another post...by far my favorite day with the elf!
 Of course an elf's favorite game is Candy Land!
 ...and who else would you play Candy Land with?
 We made sugar cookies that day and the elf made one from himself an attempted to decorate it.
 That elf certainly makes a mess some nights.
 Chip gathered all the big Santa's in the house and hung out with them by the Christmas tree.
 The four basic food groups of elves are????....candy, candy cane, candy corn, and....syrup!
 Christmas eve night...Chips last night. Makenzie said goodbye reluctantly. Before Chip left he trapped all the kids their room to ensure no one snuck out in the middle of the night to peek.
 He left a note for Makenzie saying he will miss her and he will see her again next year.
 Sweet
....but...this is really what they do between poses!

We honestly had a great Christmas. I think Santa brought everything the kids wanted and plus a couple of extra surprises. Adrian has been working a temp job with the a company that has contracts with the post office through the holidays. When he took this job he knew it was temporary but it paid well and it was something to get us through the holidays while he kept looking. He worked horrendous hours for about three weeks but the job paid very well so we were extremely grateful for the extra money because we were not sure what the job situation was going to be once the job ended on the 24th. Anyways, He went to work on Christmas eve and the owner asked him to come back the next week he would like to train Adrian on some contract stuff he has with the post office. The stuff he has Adrian doing is a permanent contract the employer has with the post office and the guy he is working with is a full time employee so though we don't really know if it is permanent job...it is steady work for the time being...it pays well...and it will pay the bills...it really was a huge Merry Christmas present for both Adrian and I.



Just in case you have no clue what they are talking about, the twins are in to these things called monster high dolls...it is teen girls who are the offspring of Monsters. If it is ghoulish, monstrous, or part of the undead they love it! They are also darn near impossible to find, they are that popular, but we found the one that is the hardest to find by pure stroke of luck...that is right, I am a rock star mom in their world!!!!
Makenzie: Rapunzel's castle, and Disney squinkies
Cheyenne: Lagoona's hydration station. and Nintendo DSi
Kaitlynn: Monster High Abbey Bominable doll, and Nintendo DSi

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
