The Magic Elf Hat

I've gotten a lot of questions from other moms as to how we kept the elf hat on Mr. Finn for all the various photos and occasions. I'm slightly reluctant to share because its more fun to just say "oh he loved it" but I will share......I had the idea for Elf Finn this past summer, bought the outfit in October and had been DYING to share with everyone. In the meantime, we started to make the hat FUN so Mr. Finn would like wearing it when it was time for the momentous Christmas Photo Occasion. So we played a lot of games of "ohhh, daddy is having so much FUN wearing the FUN hat!" "ohhh, mommy loves the FUN hat too!" "Ohhh, the FUN hat jingles!" and there even was an occasion where...well....this picture says it all....we made the hat FUN!

Imagine It!

We met our friends at the Imagine It Museum for some FUN!!!

Playing with the moon sand was a BIG hit!

Finn liked Bob the Builder from Afar, but I did manage to get a picture of this little girl who loved him! Ha!

He may live in the south, but he is an Indiana boy at heart!

Daddy's Present

Well Daddy got a big surprise for Christmas this year too.....a Guitar! Finn had FUN playing with it too!

Christmas

Christmas was so much FUN this year with Finn! Here he is in his various Christmas outfits and his favorite presents.....please note the broom is still wrapped but he knew exactly what it was!

More morning routine cuteness

pre bath snuggle

caught a cute little snuggle with Finn and daddy waiting for the tub to fill up

Coloring

We bought Finn some crayons and a giant roll of paper last weekend so we could start some coloring! Please excuse the no shirt, we had just finished a very messy lunch and daddy was too excited to start coloring to put a new shirt on him and once he saw the crayons he went crazy!

Big Brother Finn

We had a Christmas and Maternity Photo shoot with Miss Brittany Erwin a couple of weeks ago and here is just one of the sweetest photos taken that day. I think Mr. Finn is going to make such a great big brother!

Breakfast Eggo

We have a new morning routine.....when Finn starts to wake up, I throw an eggo in the toaster, go in and grab him out of bed, walk back out to the toaster and get the eggo where we BOTH blow on it (seriously adorable to see Finn blowing on the eggo, it is the faintest little thing but he's very serious about it!) and then I hand him the eggo, which he takes with both hands and then I sit him in his chair in the living room facing the lit up Christmas tree and he sits and eats and mmmmm's until it is gone and it is seriously the cutest thing in the world (although I suppose I think everything he does is cute)!

The Big Man

Mr. Finn got to meet Mr. Santa Claus last weekend, and he seemed to actually enjoy the experience! Santa did say he asked for a lot of stuff for Christmas though, let's just hope the big man delivers! ;)
