This time really is the most wonderful time of the year. We have been able to catch up with old friends and family with many parties and occasions this year. The perfect cure for any gloominess are the people in our lives. I could brag all day about them and wish I could get out more to see them. Our house has been decked out (!) with decorations, thanks to the hand-me-downs from my Grandma, Mimi and Granny. Of course the most important story here in the Rice home is the birthday boy himself, Jesus. Along with His story, we are also keeping the magic here alive with Santa, his reindeer's and the Elf on the Shelf.

We adore Jeff's snow globes. Most are from his memaw who is now in heaven. Are they vintage now that some are over 30 years old (hehe)?
Favorite part of the house, girls Christmas projects.
We had so much decor that we moved a table under the TV to display.
Thanks to my dear friend, Angie, who gave us the "Elf on the Shelf" a four years ago. Elfie also has a book and it comes out every year with the ornaments and we all read it together. He has a great story and the kids LOVE it! They wake up every morning to search for him because he lands in a different spot throughout the house. Each night he flys to the North Pole and reports to Santa on how the girls have behaved. This has been a great tradition that our children will remember for years to come. Thanks sweet friend!

Love the geometry project the girls brought home from school. We have been able to make snowflakes and it has kept palydates very exciting and they always turn out beautiful. The girls were able to decorate Grandads (Candy's dad) rehabilitation room. Please keep him in your prayers as he gets stronger from his stroke. We hope you all are having "the most wonderful time of year" in your home!
