Christmas with Nana and Grampie

Since we will be spending Christmas in Wisconsin this year, Nana and Grampie wanted to give Bella her gifts early. Bella had a great time opening her present but loved what was inside more, especially her new wheels: Yoshi. Thanks so much Jack and Mary!

St. Nick's Day

Carrying on one of my favorite traditions from my childhood - St. Nick's Day. It's when you put out your shoes and the elves come and either put coal or treats in them. If you get coal you have 20 days to behave to get gifts on christmas. If you get treats - you have been a good kiddo and keep it up!

Shoes out the night before. Tradition is that you are supposed to put them outside but I don't want any animals making their homes inside them.

Rubbles patiently waiting.

We save the empty peanut butter jars for him to play with. He gets every last little bit out so we can recycle it.

venison hotdogs

Deer season is over. Bella wore her hunting clothes for good luck for someone to get a deer so she could experience her first venison hotdog.
