Dallas World Aquarium

Alivia and Austin had a great time at the Dallas World Aquarium with their cousins!

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Elf on the Shelf

Our Elf on the Shelf finally arrived on our doorstep a few days ago. Better late than never! The kids decided to name him Jackie. He kind of looks like a Jackie. Don't you think?

When we wake up in the morning or come home from being out he is in a different place. In the picture below we found him in the Christmas tree. We have also found him on the fireplace, a lamp, the fridge, and even an empty shelf. The kids are so excited each morning to be the first to find him.

He is here to keep a close eye on Alivia and Austin. Each night when they are sleeping he goes back to the North Pole to report their behavior to Santa. Once he makes it to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, he won't return until next year. Now that he is part of the family, he will probably arrive much earlier next year. You never know, he could just show up in the turkey on Thanksgiving!
