The Elf's New Accomplice

Luckily Baby Jeans will not be competing with Van's elf next Christmas! Did you know there is a "My Secret Angel" counterpart? We have been doing some early Christmas present exchanging here and there, and this is one of her first gifts!

Speaking of a new accomplice, Van has grown rather attached to cousin Frasier this past week.We enjoyed such a special visit with our northern fam. Words cannot describe the happiness I feel watching Van and Frasier play together and I wish circumstances provided for this entertainment more frequently!







Aunts and Uncles got some fun time in too!







Fray, Snags, and Zeph all graciously accepted their mostly home-made gifts from Auntie Em this year, (who over-nested just a tad in the sewing department)...but hopefully the gifts will still be fun and useful!

Van recieved an awesome guitar and spyglass--neither of which has been put down since opening!



Auntie Snags completd my "mom" chain!! Which is very special to me.


Who needs tickets to the Nutcracker ballet, when you have entertaining tots to perform arabesques:

with musical accompaniment?


No clean up crew necessary when there are extra hands to un-discard all of the wrapping paper...


A talented pair of cousins!

We had a nice Teenies Christmas gathering:

AND the night night fairy arrived this morning!!!


Looks like Santa is on his way!


HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

  3. Love the way Elf is looking at the Secret Angel. We are not responsible enough to move two around the house!

    Van's hair steals the show, and I love Fray's arabesque!
