Night Night Xavier…

Tonight Xavier made himself a bed out of Chompy’s legos and snuggled in with a flannel sleeping bag and warm, cozy knitted blankie.

Coloring….

Xavier drew Chompy a pretty Christmas tree last night Smile

 

And, Chompy had a fantastic time with his Little People Nativity Scene.  He was concerned though that Baby Jesus did not have an actual bed.  BTW….this nativity scene is by far the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and I got it on sale!  Score one for Momma!

You may be wondering why he has his paci, when his paci is supposed to stay in his bed.  Chompy was a very sicky face yesterday, so he curled up on the couch with Daddy all day with his blankies, his “animals” (Monkey, Camel and Rabbit), and his pacis.  Pooooor bubba head.

Just hanging around…

 

Chompy is starting to get the hang of looking for Xavier when he wakes up.   He thinks its “so silly”.  Note…he thinks everything is so silly Smile

December 3rd…

So, when Chompy woke up, we asked him where his elf was.  He looked at the spot where he was yesterday and with his hands raised said “I dunno.  He gone”.  We then went on a hunt and he was exstatic to find him hanging out in Chompy’s basketball net. 

Here’s where Xavier will be tomorrow morning when Chompy wakes.

Silly elf, he’s sitting on Chompy’s stocking. Smile

Tonight, we also decorated our Christmas tree.  Chompy had a really fun time looking at the ornaments, figuring how how to put them on the tree, and making sure that Daddy put the star on the  top.

Say hi to Xavier the Elf..

IMG_0898

This is his spying spot for tomorrow morning.  Chompy thought that he should be named Mommy Elf and when we suggested that he maybe could think of another name, he came up with Daddy Elf…so Daddy named him Xavier.  Xavier the elf. 

Chompy thought that it was a pretty funny thing to have a “elf in my house Mommy.  Dat silly!”.    It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes him to find Xavier tomorrow.  Smile

Here comes Christmas…

So, there is a tradition that is quickly becoming a fad for this year:  Elf on the Shelf.

Momma decided that this would be super fun to do with Chompy.  She’ll put the elf somewhere in the house for Chompy to find each morning.  Hopefully, it’ll become a fun game for Chompy to try and figure out where the elf’s new spot is.  Momma is not expecting that Chompy will understand the whole concept for a few years, and isn’t even sure if she’ll use the whole idea, but hiding an elf? That she can get into Smile 

Here’s how the elf will show up for Chompy tomorrow morning.  This is his special seat in the living room, complete with his new Christmas place setting Smile

Stay tuned to see Chompy’s reaction to the elf, what he names the elf, and where the elf decides to turn up Smile  

Welcome to the Christmas season, Momma’s soooo glad you are here!

Idyllwild camping…

Here are some pictures of our quick overnight camping trip this weekend.

We had a great time and will definitely be going back!

Chompy thoroughly enjoyed:

Playing in the dirt-throwing the dirt-kicking the dirt-making piles of dirt.
