Deck The Halls and So Much More

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (Eve, as Benton would say!)! This past weekend we took advantage of the last days of warm weather and found our yearly Christmas tree. This year, we seemed to have a difficult time agreeing on one because we were limited on the size that would fit in our designated spot. In the past we have always gone big and full, this year we needed tall and skinny. We finally all agreed on a VERY tall and perfectly skinny tree. It looks perfect all lit up and decorated!

 Holicky family 2017





Brutus was eyeing up another pup, but being the good dog he is he knew he could do nothing about it and just stared sadly! 





Elfy our Elf on the shelf has returned too. So far, this year hasn't been as exciting as the past. Benton, being the wise three year old he is, has taken upon himself to inform our seven year old that the elf is not real and only a stuffed toy. I think because he's not as excited about the day to day shenanigans that our elf creates, it bums Kynzley out a bit and she doesn't seem to be as excited either. Benton has also let us know that Santa is not real. We thought we would have this problem with Kynzley ruining it for Benton, not the other way around! To be honest, I think Benton needs to tell himself these things are not real to help him with his anxiety. He hates things out of the ordinary and really does not like change. 





Other fun happenings going on in the Holicky household:

-Kynzley has recently joined Girl Scouts. Her troop along with a couple other troops sang carols at one of our local nursing home. Kynzley sang loud and proud!!






  -Benton is doing great in "school" and LOVES going! It only took two classes before he told me that I no longer need to watch! 



Benton is the "high maintenance" one out of the two kiddos. He LOVES having his nails painted and his hair done. He's also very opinionated on his clothing. 


-We soaked up all the beautiful weather with long hikes as a family




-Playing with friends and laughing lots
