Having fun with Scrapbook

So I'm playing around with some fun Christmas stuff and I made this new header, but I don't know which one I like better...the one I have as my header or this one. Please feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Candy the Elf has arrived...

Hello,

I'm the Elf on the Shelf and I have just arrived at my new house. Tonight, the children read the book that I brought with me that told them of my story. Santa sent me and their first task was to give me a name. They have named me Candy. Now, my job can start. I have specific instructions from the big man himself watch over the whole family (daddy included) during the day and then, at night, I fly back to the North Pole and give my daily report to Santa. I return back to my new home before everyone awakes and nestle into my new spot for the day to watch over the family. I even found this cool key at the house to let me in and out. I think Santa sent it before he sent me to let me know how important my job is. Sarah and Carson have got to remember not to touch me so that I can keep my Christmas magic, but they can tell me all of their wishes. If you would like to get one of my friends, you may visit our website at http://www.elfontheshelf.com/. Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

Candy the Elf

Now I Can Wish You Merry Christmas!

I made over my blog...Christmas Style. I entered Team Carroll's Christmas make over give away because she is soooo creative and fun, but I got the pictures from my photographer (http://cocoriahphoto.blogspot.com/) and I just couldn't wait. I even gave you Christmas music to listen to! So, Merry Christmas y'all!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love looking back at my year and being thankful for my family, husband, children, friends, job, health, and multiple blessings through out the year. I also love the traditions that go along with the holiday. To get into the thanksgiving mood, Sarah and I decided to do crafts and bake cookies.

Turkey Cookies...Gobble, Gobble!

Sarah showing off her thankful rings. I asked her who she was thankful for, wrote them on the ring and linked them together. Pretty creative for a fifth grade teacher I know!! She told me she was thankful for Carson, barbies, Jesus, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Papa, Grammy and Pop, Charli and Coal (the dogs), The Vaughan Family, her books, her toys, and Uncle Jon all with out me prompting her. What a thankful heart!
The final products displayed nicely on our front door.

Wreck'em Tech...Beat OU!

We are all dressed up in our Tech gear to cheer them to victory! The foreheads are healing nicely too.. Excuse the messy faces. :)

They are our friends, the Backyardigans

We went out to Nokia Theatre to see the Backyardigans today and the kids had a blast! Sarah and Carson loved singing and dancing with them!
