Santa and the elves...

Happy December! Can you believe only 22 days until Christmas (make that 21 by the time you read this)!? We put our Christmas tree up over the weekend, Nate has been stringing lights all over the house, we've got our Advent calender displayed to help us count down to Christmas... the Pierce family is getting in the holiday spirit!


On Saturday I took the kids to see Santa at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately we missed him by about 10 minutes! Jacob was a bit disappointed... when I suggested we go see Grandma Pierce since she was working, he said "I don't wanna see Grandma, I wanna see Santa!" Well, we tried again the next day after church, and had much better luck. We crammed all the kids around Santa because they wanted to be in the picture together. (Doesn't Santa look like he's about 12 years old in this picture? LOL)




Check out this link to see the kids doing a little Christmas jig. It might take a minute to load, but it is pretty darn cute! https://tdsmail.tds.net/do/redirect?url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.elfyourself.com%252F%253Fid%253D1122790056

Before I forget to mention it... Abby and Noah are in the Christmas program at our church on Sunday, December 16 at 6:00 p.m. They have been working very hard to memorize their songs and learn the motions. I think it will be a great program! You are all more than welcome to come, we'd love to have you!

Bye for now~
