Happy December!

It's finally here!

First off: Elf Shenanigans. Saturday night, I had a sleepover (more in a minute on that!), so Ralph left this at home...

Monster had so much fun adding the stickers!

At my sleepover, I was a superslacker and didn't take really any pictures, but here's what I do have..

The next morning, our older kiddos took care of the church service in order to raise some extra money for our Passion Conference trip.

Children's Church

Preacher Man.

Worship. No, leading is not my favorite thing ever, and I sort of hate singing in front of people... but, when one of them asks, I'll do it.

Sunday night, this is where Monkey could be found. Under his bed. Goober.

Yesterday, I was Ralph was running really late. so he was lame and just found a new spot.

Here's his plan of attack for today though...

Also, my Grandma whipped this up for me yesterday. #shesthebest

Also. Before break, I mentioned to a few of my classes that I sort of wanted to wear a Christmas shirt or something every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas Breaks (only 17 days) just to see if I could. One of my students told me they didn't think I would do it... #challengeaccepted

Here's what I wore yesterday:

And here's what I'm wearing today:

1. Sorry for the mess. The boys' room has the best lighting in the early morning. Clearly, I had them do the cleanup before bed last night.

2. I didn't realize how out of control my arm party is. Ooops. ;)

3. Sasea is my favorite. We all have this Santa shirt, and it's my fave.  More to come this month!! :)

Okay, today you're getting a twofer. Yesterday, Andrea did a stocking stuffers list... so here's ours!

Everyone gets socks and underwear in their stockings. Well, Monkey gets diapers.. but still. Usually by Christmas they're needed, and it's funny to put them in there!

We all also get new toothbrushes in stockings. When I was growing up, my mom always did stockings that were stuff we needed, so that's how we do it too! Well, mostly. ;)

I picked Timmy up a coffee mug at walmart a few weeks ago for his, and he will probably also get some Kcups to finish him up. The boys will get some Christmas tattoos (because they're totally the coolest things ever.. ugh).  Usually we have breakfast at my grandma's on Christmas, so we get powdered donuts to take with us (my boys prefer less traditional breakfast foods or cereal, and Grandma does eggs/biscuits/gravy... so this is just better in the long run!).

Only 24 days until the main event! :)
