Thanksgiving

We enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday spending time with family and friends and attended the Egg Bowl in Oxford with a nice result for the Rebels! The end of the week was very busy! Elizabeth was able to spend some time with her cousins on both sides of the family and enjoyed every minute. She and Baylor roasted marshmallows in the fireplace and made smores on Saturday night (her first time-she loved it!)
It has been a busy time of year with work and trying to start shopping (I'm a last minute person). She had school pictures scheduled for last week and I got a call at work from May May who said "you're not going to believe what she's done". That phrase always scares me. She told me that Elizabeth would not have her picture made because every time she got on the stool she would put her head down and say she was scared. They could not get her to cooperate so she did not have a school picture made! I was most upset by not having a yearly school picture so I have phoned the photographer to see if he will do a make up session for her.
We finally got our Christmas tree yesterday and our decorations came out of the attic. Elizabeth enjoyed watching Daddy put the lights on the tree and she even helped decorate a little. Another good thing we have just started enjoying this year that I know will be a must for a tradition is the Elf on the Shelf. We read the story together and she decided to name her elf "Edgar". We're not quite sure where she got the name but needless to say she is enjoying getting up every morning to see where he has "landed" in the night! Edgar has definitely kept her out of big trouble more than once!
