North Pole Breakfast

Last year we got the girls the Elf On The Shelf. If you have never heard of it, its a little elf that you put in your house and each night he (or she!) reports back to Santa on if the kids have been good or not!  And then each morning he is in a new spot in your house so the kids have to find it each morning!

When you first get your elf you have to give it a name, and Sam named ours Sprinkles! And we got her a skirt, so our elf is a girl :) 

This year I decided to make a North Pole Breakfast to welcome Sprinkles back! Actually, Sprinkles made the breakfast for the girls :)

Big Bear!

Last weekend we went up to Big Bear for a little mini-vacation!

My good friend Kristi as a GORGEOUS house up there that she graciously let us use! We ended up going up there on Thursday afternoon and we had some friends meet us up there Friday night. Isnt this house amazing?

We could never thank Kristi enough for letting us stay there!!!!

On Friday Tai and I took the girls down to Lake Arrowhead. I grew up going to that lake so I really wanted to take the girls to the village there and walk around. It was neat for me to go back there since I hadnt been in YEARS, and the girls had an absolute blast running around and feeding the ducks!

Of course Sadie decided to EAT the duck food so I had to dig it out of her mouth!

The duck came right up and ate the food right out of my hand!

After naps the girls wanted to go out and wander around and plan in the 'snow'. There wasnt much there, but it still made Sam happy and thats all that matters!
