On Saturday we went to our hometown Christmas Parade where Brody got to ride in a firetruck through the parade, throwing out candy. He absolutely loved it and thought it was the most wonderful thing he could have ever done.  He got to visit with all of the horses and mules and get up close and personal. Once he got off the firetruck he watched the end of the parade as the hot-rod's went by and they all threw him candy and he loved that! After the parade we went to my Aunt and Uncle's grocery store to see Santa and Mrs. Clause. Brody loves Santa and this was his first time seeing Mrs. Clause and I think he may have even liked her more. He has already saw Santa 3 times this year ( I've yet to post the pictures) but it is so magical and sweet each time he has seen him! We had a wonderful weekend! Can't believe Christmas is just around the corner!!!

Take a look at what Ya-Ya has bee up to the past few days.... Hanging out on the fan! Has a hold on Brody's stocking... Watching Brody from the Entertainment Center  Brody even found him playing with the train in his village... This morning Brody found Ya-Ya on his tree in his bedroom with a present- The Elf on the Shelf Movie! We are having so much fun with Ya-Ya I don't know what we will do when we need to send him back to the North Pole until next year!!

My mom got Brody Elf on the Shelf for his very 1st Christmas and for the last 2 Christmas' I have jut read the story to him and sat the elf on the mantle. This year I was hoping Brody would understand and be excited about it and he was! We started 3 nights ago by reading the story and we have read it everyday since then. Brody named his elf "Ya-Ya."  Brody loves the story and loves his elf. The first thing he wants to do when he wakes up is find "Ya-Ya." He really takes it serious and really wants to make sure that Santa gets a good report. If he is acting up or anything I can remind him that Ya-Ya is watching and he usually straightens right up. Now I know you aren't supposed to move your elf or touch him very much because you don't want him to lose his magic but Brody loves him so much that he just really wants to hold him sometimes, so I let him. He took him on a car ride the other day with us and then he also took a nap with him, it is precious. The ...

Tis the season...... I had been wanting to put out my Christmas decorations for quite a few weeks now, I love the comfy and cozy feeling of my house when it is all decorated for Christmas. I made myself wait as long as I could. On Saturday Timmy was hunting and Brody and I were just hanging around the house so we started decorating. I still am not completely done but most of the way. I am still excited this week for Thanksgiving and being with family. I definitely remember what I am so thankful for and I count my blessings each and every day. My Little Helper Brody loved helping me decorate the tree.. Oh Christmas Tree! I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving, remember what you are thankful for!
