Brizzy the Elf

So this year, I was told about Elf on the Shelf. This is a great way to keep Brynna focused during this holiday season. We named our elf: Brizzy. He would watch over us during the day and at night he would fly to the North Pole and report to Santa about how we did during the day. Then the next morning he would hide in a new spot in the house for us to find him. This elf was a great motivator knowing he would tell Santa if we misbehaved. The Mays family was really good this year.
We can't wait until next December to see Brizzy again!

Christmas 2009

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

This year we experienced a first. Christmas Eve services at church were canceled due to the snow fall. When 4 inches fall in one day and another 4 inches fall on Christmas, we can definitely call it a White Christmas... which is another first- not watching White Christmas.

Christmas Eve... dinner and games

and new PJ's!

Christmas morning! Brynna's first thought was how to get Izzy involved in her gifts. Then it was what did Santa bring me.... and the answer was.... anything princess!

Looks like Brian was having fun with his presents!

Then it was off to Grandma and Papa's house to see what Santa left there!

Miss Tori settled down!

Brian and Brynna waiting for breakfast!

My A-Maysing family! I am so blessed~

Thanksgiving 2009

We traveled to Texas to spend Thanksgiving with Brian's family. We had quite the time. Brynna played with her cousins and stayed up late! We were able to see the horse that Lorenzo has bought and the land he is going to purchase to make room for the horse. We also went to Ft. Worth to the theater and saw Santa is coming to Town. All in all Thanksgiving was much fun!
