Elf on the Shelf in 2014

(I know Christmas has been over for quite some time, but I just started organizing some pictures again and forgot that I have not updated the blog in quite some time.  Here comes a whole bunch of posts to catch up.)

Tyrone was back and up to his usual tricks this year.  He added some great Frozen inspired ideas, he brought the girls new fish, and even played some games with them.  The girls couldn't wait to wake up each morning and see what Tyrone had been up to the night before.

Twas the Night Before Christmas 2014

Stepping Stones annual Twas the Night Before Christmas.  We sang a few carols, Mrs. Donna read the Night Before Christmas, we enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa, made an ornament craft, and had pictures with Santa.  The girls had a good time.  Siena was excited that she got to see some friends from her year in VPK.  Siena and her friend Lilyana made silly faces for us.

Stepping Stones "The First Thanksgiving" Program

Stepping Stones Preschool had their Thanksgiving program.  Lilli and her friends were the pilgrims (4 year olds) and Presleigh (from church) was an Indian (3 year olds).  This was the first year that Daddy actually got to see the program.  Poppa and Great Grandma were also able to join us.  Siena got to see her friend Liliana.  The songs are "This is the Way the Pilgrims Walk", "Mr. Turkey", "Turkey Gobbler" and "We are Indians".

Trunk or Treat 2014

Trunk or Treat 2014 at Mandarin Church of Christ.  We had a great turn out!  Our trunk was Frozen themed.  Lilli was Elsa, Siena was Anna, Shelli was Olaf, and Stefano was a troll (briefly).  Stefano was in charge of grilling hot dogs again.  There were bounce houses, pony rides, a spooky house, and a maze.  The girls had a blast!
