Where's the Elf - Day 3

I am a bit late posting this, sorry! Here is where Christopher Pop-In-Kins was hiding today.

Jimmy was so excited to find him hiding on the light in the bathroom. Every time he went in there he said "He's still there!" He is so cute!

Where's the Elf - Day 2

Today Christopher Pop-In-Kins was hiding up in one of my ferns, that silly little elf! ;-)

Jimmy really giggled at this hiding place. Make sure you stop by for tomorrow's hiding place! =)

Where's the Elf - Day 1

Meet our new friend!

My mother in law gave us this cute little guy and we now have a new Christmas tradition. He is kind of like Elf on the Shelf, but he has bendy arms and legs and must hide up high, lest he be touched and lose his magic, therefore causing him to have to return to the North Pole. This little guy has been around since 1984. To learn more about him visit his website here. He first showed up 2 days after Thanksgiving and the boys have been having a blast looking for him in his new hiding place each morning! Here is his hiding place for today:

I am planning on posting his hiding place every day until he returns to the North Pole (he must be back before Christmas Eve), so be sure to check back tomorrow to see where he hides!

Blessings!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day with family and friends!

I am so thankful for the time spent with family today. I am thankful for the wonderful meal my mother in law prepared for us. I am thankful for our country. I am so thankful for our home and farm, animals and equipment. I am extremely thankful for my wonderful, hard working husband who does everything it takes to make sure we are taken care of and provided for. I am so very thankful for our two awesome little boys, my days are never dull and they provide so much laughter and happiness!

Most of all, I am thankful for my Lord and Savior. Thankful that God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to save us from our sins. I am so unworthy but so thankful for his mercy and grace to save a sinner like me. Thank you Lord for everything! We are truly blessed!

Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful for the sun! It is starting to get colder here in Ohio, but today is at least nice and sunny. So the curtains are open and the sun is streaming in the windows. Sure helps boost my mood!

I am thankful for our small farm and the hard working hubby who makes it possible for us to live and raise our family here.

So thankful for my lovely friend Joy Marie! She came over earlier this week and we raked and played in the leaves with Jimmy and Matthew. It was so much fun!

What are YOU thankful for?
