Jimmy!

In following the J and C Meibos tradition we thought we would invite our own elf to join us this Christmas. He arrived yesterday. His name is Jimmy. He came late to our house but we hope to have lots of fun with him. This is how he arrived.



He had this note:

Ethan, Brock, Hayley and Paige - My name is Jimmy the elf and I have come bringing some holiday cheer. Each morning look for me and see what I get in to. I am usually good because I don’t want to be on Santa’s naughty list but sometimes I just can’t control myself. There are so many fun things to do and places to explore in this new place. I stay up all night so in the morning please put me to sleep under the Christmas tree– my favorite place to sleep! I found these with your name on them and thought I would bring them to you. Don’t open them yet, wait for Christmas eve, maybe they can be a pillow for me.

Today we found him like this.





With this message.

Hey guys!
Since there wasn’t much snow outside I thought I would make my Christmas snow angel in here. I hope your mom doesn’t mind if I borrow some sugar. She can probably still use it to make cookies, I took a shower tonight. Don’t forget to put me to bed. I’m wiped out!

The kids are having a blast with this. Paige read the first note about 5 times and asked lots of questions. When she was in bed she kept asking if Jimmy was still under the tree :)

Just Smile!!!

We tried to get a quick family picture the other day. I don't know why everyone had to make so many funny faces. They will love these when they get older. We were able to finally get a couple decent pics though.


Blizzard



Recently we were supposed to be having a blizzard. It ended up being much tamer than expected. The kids loved it. They couldn't wait to get outside.
