Christmas is coming!!!

The boys are so excited for Christmas this year!  It is amazing to see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices (yep, even Drew's).  You know, this Elf on a Shelf thing is very popular.  We have not had an elf visit our house yet but I am thinking we may invite one next year.  Instead, we have big candy canes that Santa either takes away or moves if the boys are on the naughty list and leaves them hanging in the window if the boys (or one of the boys) is on the nice list.  The bad thing about the candy canes is that they often become the reason for why one of the boys is on the naughty list.  They use the candy canes as swords, guns, pool sticks - anything you can imagine.  I got to visit Conner's class for their Christmas party and I saw an elf in action.  They are amazing.  The kids would listen any time the teacher mentioned "glee" (the preschool elf's name).  So maybe, just maybe, we will have a McClellan elf next year!  Here are a few pictures from Conner's class Christmas party.  The kids had a great time but were sugared out by lunch time!

We also had a Christmas outing with all of the McClellan nieces and nephews.  It was great fun to see all of the kids together and enjoy the downtown Christmas events together.  Here is Harrison, Conner, Hilary, Madelyn, Hadley and Drew!

Only 2 more days!
