My first post!

I decided to try blogging for the first time after seeing my sister-in-law's blogspot. Her site is so cute and I love seeing and hearing about my niece and nephew's adventures. I am not much of a writer, but here goes nothing. David and I used this picture for our Christmas card. We took it on Thanksgiving Day. I can't believe Christmas will be here before we know it. I was reading about Christmas traditions on Lee's website and we have started a new one this year. Landen and Madelynn were introduced to the Elf on the Shelf book. We started the week of Thanksgiving. They love looking for our elf, Jingle, every morning when they wake up. He watches the children all day long and at night, flies to the North Pole to tell Santa if the children have been obedient, said their prayers, etc. When he returns home, he is in a different place in our house. It has been alot of fun so far.
The kids are really into Christmas this year. Madelynn wants dolls, dolls, dolls. Landen wants everything he sees! We will see.
