Christmas Pictures Part 2

Since it is Nora's first Christmas she had to have some extra special Christmas pictures.  I did some myself at night with the tree and Mimi helped with the rest!

Elf on the Shelf

One morning we woke up and there was a visitor at our house!  He came with a book that told us about how he was a helper for Santa to let him know if Blair and Nora were naughty or nice.

We were supposed to pick a name.  Blair picked Star... why?  That was what she saw first thing when she looked around the room.

 Blair wasn't too into him at first but she followed the rules and didn't touch him.  However, she also wasn't afraid to misbehave in front of him.

Playing with the princesses...

 Riding the train with a baby and Elmo

 Then she started thinking he was pretty funny when he put toilet paper all around the bathroom!

 He made a "sprinkle angel"

 Blair and I made these salt dough ornaments.  I gave them to her to look at after baking and turned my back.  When I turned around she was trying frantically to eat it! haha.  I guess that was pretty confusing as it seemed like cookies.  Her ornament has a big bite out of it now!  So of course that night Star got a little mixed up and took a bit too!

 Tea party with Simba and Sully

 bath time...

 hanging out in the tree... I guess Star was too tired for mischief this night.

 For Blair's birthday Star decorated the house but he got a bit tangled up in the crate paper

 stuck in the vase

 hanging on Santa

 riding the chandelier... naughty elf!

 Leaving messages

 checking Blair's stocking to see if it was ready for presents

 oops that naught elf was trying to eat our cookies and got stuck in the bag.  It was around this time that she started actually searching for him in the morning and also talking to him about how she was good and wanted a princess bike.

 its cold in the fridge

 cool gingerbread house Blair... she was NOT happy

 Even elves have to accessorize

 giving Sully a checkup

 he rode this bus down the stairs

 playing Blair's new game with his friends the nutcrackers

 on Star's last night he colored Blair a picture and left a note with a report card.

Until next year Star!  Enjoy your rest at the north pole and we will be nice all year long!

Christmas Pictures part 1

I actually took the girls to have their pictures done this year!  There was a good deal and I wanted some new backdrop action.  It was not easy but we got some cute stuff.

Blair loved her Christmas dress so much and couldn't wait to wear it at any time.  In fact when I told her she could wear it on Christmas Eve she jumped up and down, "I can wear it!  Best day EVER!!!!"

When we got to the studio the lady asked how old she was and Blair told her 3 and her birthday is December 11 and on and on.  So about 10 minutes later we walk back up again on our turn and the lady asked her again how old she was and she said, "I already told you that!" haha it was kind of snotty but she had a point!  It made me laugh a bit though because she is just growing up so much and knows what is going on around her more and more!
