Friday iPhone Dump #141

Sorry I'm a day late!

Last weekend, we had Christmas at the Wiltshire house. Although I didn't get one picture while we were there, we had a lot of fun. So much so that Hannah crashed in the car with one of her many new babies.


Our silly elves made their own Christmas tree from red cups.


Then they got sick, just like Jacob and Hannah!!


They did go to the doctor but, other than an ear infection, there was nothing exciting to report. They felt much better that night.


And our elves felt better, too. They threw another party in our playroom and decorated with streamers and balloons. A lot of their stuffed animals joined in the party this year.


They were swinging from the light.


Santa stopped by our house and left plenty of stuff. He did not wrap this year because, I hear, he was too tired.





One of the things in their stocking was silly string.





And, then on Christmas night, we went to Santa's Wonderland.


The colors are weird but we had fun on the hay ride.


And they each rode a pretend toboggan.

Nice weather = dune buggy ride to the park.


After, we had dinner outside.


Hannah found something she really wanted at Hobby Lobby (and insisted I take a picture of it).


Ready for church.








Hannah got her glasses on Wednesday but hasn't really started wearing them yet (long story). However, this picture also shows why I need a new phone for Christmas...it's either too dark or too light. So, the rest of the pictures I took with Randy's phone.


At lunch in her glasses.


Our silly elves...


Hannah's Christmas program was yesterday, and she did great!








Jacob skipped school to go...ssshhhh!

Our silly elves got into the dog treats and Jacob didn't think this was funny at all. I thought he would love it but he's afraid they'll tell Santa we have bad cookies.


Making yummy cookies.


Hannah's philosophy for cookie decorating is "more sprinkles is always better". Here are her cookies...


On Saturday we picked out and bought some toys to donate. We took them to the fire station to drop them off and got to sit in the firetruck!


At Bradley's birthday party.








Visiting (and not crying) with Santa.








Memaw was here and took them for ice cream in their pajamas AGAIN.


Feeding the ducks with Memaw.


Silly elves again.


At Jacob's school holiday PJ party.

I found more pictures of the Thanksgiving Day parade on Randy's phone.



At one point, Jacob and Randy went exploring (to kill time before) and they ended up on a sky bridge that Jacob loved.





After Thanksgiving at Brandl and Danielle's house, we stopped at the winter lantern festival because they had a carnival.


You can see some of the pretty lights behind them, but our kids had zero interest in pretty lights. They just wanted to ride the rides!





Last Sunday, at Monkey Joe's. Hannah was attached to my leg during this picture.


One of our many ways to countdown to Christmas. I wrapped 25 of their Christmas books and we open and read one a day.


Our elves are silly. Boy "pooped" a Hershey's kiss and Girl can't even watch.


We went to the hospital because my Dad was having a stint put in his kidney artery. Hannah REALLY wanted to take a picture with this "wall".


And with Memaw.


Silly elves again.


Randy "won" a Von Miller signed helmet at one of the football games. I use the term "won" lightly because he was simply the highest bidder in a silent auction. Most people don't immediately put their expensive new helmet on their child but Randy did. It's a little big.





When we took it from her, she had to go find her helmet (much lighter and much cheaper) and wanted to take pictures!!
