Christmas Card Engagement!

My cutie! 
She is so beautiful! She looks so grown, makes me a little sad :)

Dakota asked Jill to marry him at the end of their Christmas card portrait session. We were so blessed to be along to witness it. PLUS we got some GREAT pictures for the Family for Christmas! I could not be any happier for my sister and Dakota. They truly deserve the best!

Elf on MORE than a shelf...

Orange's first night at our house, She brought a despicable me DVD
Grace was MORE than excited!

Day 2, Orange and her best friend "Tangled" went for a girls night out cruise :)
Sleepy Orange day 3, Grace must have kept her busy with all of her behavior
Day 4, Elf goes fishing... Only problem... Grace did not have a "fishing" reference and thought Orange was trying to "drink up" the fish. She said "that is so silly"
Day 5 Elf leaves a new cup for Grace in the fridge :)

Day 6..... Well we had a ROUGH day.. lots of whining and fussing. She even spit her toothpaste rinse water across the bathroom, and told mommy that "I'm not your KID anymore". Therefore, Orange did not leave her post. Grace was pretty devastated that our Elf didn't do anything fun or tell santa that she was good. BUT Day 7 she did much better, and Orange showed up riding our reindeer on the bathroom shelf, Silly Elf.
Day 8, Orange and Santa send Grace new slippers after she was a big girl and stood for a picture with Santa at mommy's school.


Day 9, Elf hides in the tree. It took Grace hours to notice her :)
Elf TP's the Bathroom and goes potty :) Day 10 


Elf feels under dressed and makes a tutu... Grace said "SHE MADE ME A BOW!!" Day 11
Day 12, This was one of Grace's Favorites

This has been so much fun, and Grace JUMPS out of bed to see what Orange was up to during the night :) What a fun tradition.
