Last year I started doing a Christmas chain with Evan, in the hopes that he would stop pestering me with... "is it Christmas yet? Is it Christmas yet?" This year we did it again, and got the girls involved a little bit!
Elf on the Shelf
This is our first year with the Elf on the Shelf, and I must say, this is the perfect year (4-1/2) to introduce it ~ Evan is TOTALLY into this. And I must admit, the past two days that our little "Santa Spy" has been with us, has gone much more smoothly... and Evan named her "Nare". Now I just need to figure out a way to incorporate this concept year-round!
MOM Christmas Party
Last year was our first year going to our Mothers Of Multiples (MOM) Christmas party, and of course Santa and Mrs. Claus are there! So, this year we went again and Evan was SO excited to see Santa that he just about knocked over the kids that were finishing up in front of us to get on his lap!
Brynn... not so much...
But she was ok sitting on Dan's lap, so we at least got one picture of the kids not flipping out!!
Santa's beard...
I'm not sure if this is actually going to stick around as a tradition or not, but Evan's preschool class did these and took them home. It's a cute idea, and Evan loves gluing the cotton ball on every morning!
What are some of your favorite traditions??

I don't know what 'Elf on the Shelf' means...is it like 'the elf is watching, you better behave?'...if so, where might I find one of these elves? hahaha!
