christmas eve

After dinner (while dishes were being done) Addi took her reindeer food outside to sprinkle around for Rudolph and his gang!



Poor Hal-Pal missed out on the fun...she was already having visions of sugar plums dancing in her head.

Waiting...patiently... 

OMG Repunzle hair!!!! 



Daddy opening up his gift from Addi.  She wanted more than anything to buy him a prince costume and if I would have found one I would have totally bought it.  She ended up finding this at Wal-Mart and was pretty excited about it, even though it's not near a cool as a prince costume! 



Wow!  An OU button! 

To wear to the football games, daddy! 


What's that?
Oh yes, it sings!! 


From Aunt Jackie and Uncle Trevor...
The biggest Disney princess puzzle you've ever seen.

Thanks guys.  Thanks. 

Of course, she loved it and insisted on clearing the room so she could put it together! 




Mommy, lay down and we'll look like princesses too! 

And look who came to LuLu and Poppy's door!!  He stopped a little early on his route and said he'd come back once everyone was asleep.  He did drop off one little gift for the girlies!  Addi freaked out when he first got there, but brightened right up when Santa pulled a gift out of his bag with her name on it!! 

Back to business...





Repunzle helped everyone else finish open their gifts and then it was off to bed so Santa could come back!

the adventures of geoffrey the elf

Our Elf on the Shelf, Geoffrey, came to our house a little early this year.  He showed up the week before Thanksgiving, maybe because Addi was having a hard time listening.  He was a super silly elf this year and here are some of the funny things he did...

Hanging from our lights in Addi's slinky:

And just look at the mess he made with her rubber bands!  Notice he spelled out ADDI on the left side?  He's one smart cookie, I tell ya! 


And check out this tea party!! Only the coolest toys got invited, I heard. 


Back in the bathroom, Geoffrey became quite the ladies man.  oh geez. 


Lounging in some cotton balls... 

He even decorated a cupcake for Addi in Ardmore! 


And then he found Uncle Trevor's duck call!  

Geoffrey we had so much fun watching you elf around this year!  Please come back and see us soon!

christmas break in ardmore

Since OU and the girls' school was closed some for the Christmas holiday, I loaded them up and we headed to Ardmore a few days early.

LuLu and Poppy did lots of spoiling!  Check out Addi's royal breakfast!


That would be a crown pancake with pink and purple icing covered in pink sprinkles.  And don't forget the syrup, right? 

LuLu's Pizzaria was open for lunch! 

After nap we made THESE cupcakes that my mom found on pinterest. We learned the hard way to pipe the filling between layers instead of spread it...just trust me.  They turned out adorable and the marshmallow cream icing is divine!! 



Just hanin' out in her pink and black zebra costume.  


On Christmas Eve morning, Geoffrey left 2 packages on the fireplace with a note!
 


It was a copy of the Elf on the Shelf DVD and an Elf Kit.  Geoffrey went all out on the elf kit for Christmas morning...it contains:
scissors
trash bags
wire cutters
box knife
batteries
baggies for extra parts of gifts 
screwdriver set
sharpie

It was awesome and came in SO handy...thanks Geoffrey!!

For breakfast, LuLu and Addi made reindeer pancakes...another great pinterest find! 






Christmas is almost here...
