Michael the Elf

The children have been under the watchful eye of Michael the Elf, who reports back to Santa every night on any bad behavior he sees (always returning to a new perch the following morning).

Lukas, who hasn't exhibited the best of behavior as of late, offered Michael up a drawing to try and smooth things over before he submits his next report to Santa.

I find him to be a little creepy. 

Uh oh, does that mean I'm not going to get a toy this year?

Closet Play

The kids had fun in our closet early Saturday morning.

Brothers

I took a few shots of the boys before heading out for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. They were great troopers, despite the colder weather.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving dinner at the Martels. The kids did their usual routine of crafts, playing with toys, running around like crazy, eating, and performing.

Time for some turkey with the grownups...

Spaceboy

Lennon came up with an amazing costume over at the Martels tonight, which is worthy of its own post.

Brrrr

Yep, it got cold again.

Thanksgiving Morning

Lounging on Daddy's lap watching the Macy's parade.

Back to eating with a bib (once she saw Kassidy start using one).

Happy Thanksgiving!

And some unidentifiable thing... from Keira:
