monday funday!

good morning my loves.

hope you enjoyed a wonderful, long weekend with your families!

we had the best time celebrating Thanksgiving, having KT home with us for days and days, 

just hanging out as a family, decorating for Christmas... it was the best.

my list of to-do's for the day is 5 miles long, so I am going to post a few things real quick

then hit the ground running. So here's the scoop this chilly (finally) Monday morning!

First and foremost, thank you ALL so very much for your sweet comments on our 

Elf on the Shelf Breakfast. I wish I could give one to each of your families. 

I wrote all of your names down onto Santa post-it's and let Carson pick one out. 

...and the winner is!!!

Congratulations Allison! Email me and we will work out the details!

You can get a great deal on an Elf on the Shelf today if you shop Cyber Monday sales online. Speaking of which, do not do any more online Christmas shopping without signing up for Ebates first. Gosh, it's the best thing ever. Cash back on every purchase you make, just by clicking through Ebates to the website you plan to shop first. It's so simple and so rewarding. You will LOVE the big fat checks or direct deposits you get from purchases you were planning to make anyhow. Most stores have bumped up their cash back percentages significantly for Cyber Monday and the holiday season... so don't miss out! Right now, Barnes & Noble is offering 10% cash back on purchases, that's amazing! 

Our Cookie has been up to some silly shenanigans each night. 

Carson is LOVING waking up to see where he is and what he's doing.

Last night, Cookie borrowed one of CT's trucks to go pick up his Christmas tree.

 And the night before that, he went fishing! Boys will be boys!

Just a reminder that if you are participating in Mini Mail, tomorrow is the 29th, 

so blog posts about what you sent and received for the month of November will go up tomorrow!

I've gotten a few requests to be on the Mini Mail wait list. My thought it to hold those since there's 

only one month left for this pairing and assign you a 3-month pen pal come January. 

If you're new to the blog and want to read more about Mini Mail Pen Pals you can do that here!

We'd love to have more and more participants come 2012! 

Alright, we're off to see the Wizard...

okay, not really. but, we're off to run a dozen errands and cross a million things 

off our list of things to do! have a wonderful day!
