Those did not last until Christmas Day, in case you're wondering.
Emmylou also got into the Christmas spirit by making gingerbread houses for her third (!) year.
If any of you keep up with me on Facebook, this is not the house that Lola ate while we were out. I had made a bigger one that she ate. Naughty girl!

I don't think I blogged before about our new Christmas tradition: Birdie, our Elf on the Shelf. He showed up a few weeks before Christmas and as Santa's special helper, he sat in a different spot in our house each day, keeping tabs on Emmylou and Miller. He flew back to the North Pole each night to give Santa a full report on whether the kiddos were naughty or nice. Emmylou named him Birdie because he "flies like a bird."
She had to tell Birdie good-bye on Christmas Eve, so she gave him a hug and kiss. Since one of the rules is that you can't touch your elf or he'll lose his magic, we made a little exception, just this once.
Up next, the Big Day!

I heard about "Elf on the Shelf." We need to get one. So cute.
E looks like such a big girl in that first photo.
Such fun Christmas pics! We had Elf on the Shelf too. Reese named "her" (because everything has to be female) Beebee, which is partially why we decided not to allow her to name our new puppy. But Beebee really was a lot of fun and helped out during a few difficult tantrums. Kind of wish "she" could stay all year....
