a price family christmas.....
Merry (late) Christmas, and Happy New Year to you!!
I hope you had a great Christmas! I know we did.....nothing makes me happier than seeing my children happy....and Christmas is definitely a time when you can see them at their happiest! Luckily, BOTH girls got what they wanted...both were happy and excited with what Santa brought.....
Sadly, our Elf on the Shelf has returned back to the North Pole...we really did enjoy having cute little "Mike" at our house...but before he left he surprised the girls with a few last messages...here are a few last pics of Mike...
Just in 2 shorts years my girls have changed sooo much....sniff sniff....
The "loot"
The girls on Christmas Eve...
Brooke got the pink dragon she had been asking for.....thank goodness Santa found a pink dragon on Ebay...
Faith got the Nike shoes with the pink "swoosh" she was asking for...
Checking out the stocking goodies... this was my FAVORITE part of Christmas morning as a child....
Faith is surrounded by toys!
The girls got REAL kimonos from my brother, who lives in Tokyo....we had to take a picture to email him back in Japan...
....and this is what my den floor looked like after the Christmas tornado went through it....
Here is my sweet family...Christmas 2009....
This is my husband's family...mom, dad, 3 children with their spouses and children....LOVE them all! I am soooo extremely lucky to have wonderful inlaws...they are all so much fun to hang around!!!! I'm so blessed!!!
So, now we are in Memphis visiting my dad and step mom and having a great time so far. It's my fist time home in 2 years....

It's All Over But The Shoutin'...
Am I the only one who has ever heard that saying??
Well, it's Christmas Eve here, and I am having a few minutes of down time before we head to take the dogs to the kennel, head to church, then home to make a Birthday Cake for Dear Baby Jesus....and then wait on the kids to be nestled all snug in their beds so Santa can squeeze his fat hiney down our chimney... :)
I know it's not the classiest of Christmas movies, but this is what we watch on Christmas Eve or Christmas night....we laugh as hard each year as if it's the first time ever seeing this movie! Merry Christmas, Clark!
And what tree wouldn't be complete without the beauty of a "husband wrapped gift"?????? Take a look at this...
Now, this is actually a HUGE step for my loving husband...last year it was a gift wrapped in blue and yellow wrapping paper with sunflowers all over it, tied with a red bow. He's stepped up in his wrapping paper selection...although I am not sure the green/red polka dots go with silver/blue ribbon.....but hey, I am giving the guy credit... it was one less present I had to wrap!!!!

Crazy Lil' Elf & other ramblings....
Well, the Elf on the Shelf is gettig close to the end of his visit here at our house.....the girls love him....but he's running out of places to hide.... AND, he's tired of stressing to REMEMBER to hide in a new place each morning! (can i get an amen?!?):) Honestly, we LOVE Elf on the Shelf at the Price house....I can't imagine the Christmas seaon without him!! I know it's something my kids will grow up enjoying, and possibly even carry on the tradition with their little ones.
Happy December 23rd!!!

Just A Lil' Christmas Decor...
So, until next year.... here is a peek into this year's Christmas decorating..(I know, it's pitiful)....
Instead of a wreath, I put this Santa on my front door. My mom gave him to me when I was first married. She used to keep him on her front door. Now that my mom is no longer here, I keep up the tradition with Santa on my front door. He's a nice alternative to a wreath....this decoration will probably never change!
So, there you have it....my inexpensive (lack of) Christmas decor. I PROMISE to have more fun stuff next year.....Can't wait to see the after Christmas deals I come across!!
