More Zachery!!!!!

Check out Zachery and all the Elf activities that have been going on the past week.  And of course Cameron is up earlier than normal to see what Zachery has been doing since he returned from the North Pole.

RAOK

We started our Random Acts of Kindness activities on Dec. 1st and it's been SO much fun!!!  Each morning Cameron picks a different "activity" out of the box to see what we will do.  It's been great seeing Cameron so excited to do things for other people.  If I must say so myself we are raising such a caring and giving kid!  I love it!

Here is a snapshot of our list of RAOK.....Cameron helped to come up with several of them.

Elf on the Shelf - Week 1

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas tradition for so many families across the country.  In the Glenn household we purchased our "elf" last year but decided not to start the tradition because we didn't really think Cameron was ready.  This year it was clear that he was ready to start this tradition.  We knew Cameron would have tons of questions (honestly he is the most inquisitive child we know)!  And we were right.  After reading the book about the "elf" Cameron decided his elf would be named "Zachery".....yes, spelled with an "e"!

As you might know Elf on the Shelf leaves every night to fly back to the North Pole to report to Santa on the activities and behavior (good or bad) of the child he has been watching.  But the fun part is when he returns before the child awakes in the morning he does some type of "mischievous" act.  Over the 30 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas the elf does some pretty interesting things.  The child that the elf is watching can not touch him because if they do the elf will lose his power to fly.

We are one week in and each morning Cameron can't wait to look for Zachery to see what he has "gotten into".  Check out Zachery's activities for the week.  

God has been SO good!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Like many of you this year we have so much to be thankful for.  From new roles at work to a great start to Woodward Academy and many new blessings in between.  Unfortunately my family wasn't able to join us this year but of course we had a great time with Jante's family.  (this was the first year the two families have not celebrated together!)

Great food (that Cameron helped make) and thanks to "gray Thursday" we did our shopping online and didn't have to worry about the huge crowds!

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

One of our favorite things about the Christmas holiday is watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with Cameron.  This year will be no different but in addition to watching it on TV this year we got a chance to go to the Atlanta Puppetry for Arts Center to see the puppet show.  It was FABULOUS!!!!  So much like the actual show that we forgot we were not watching it on TV!  All the kids (and parents) were truly entertained!  And those actors....boy were they talented!

Then after the show the kids got a chance to make their on Red Nosed Reindeer and make him "fly" behind the screen.  Super cool!

Turkey Time

Our 2nd school project is complete!!!!!  Whoo Hoo!!!!  This time it was "Incognito Turkey" so he doesn't get eaten for Thanksgiving.  This one was much more fun! And easier!!!!!

Waffle House Time

I live for days like today.  It was the 2nd "Late Start Day" at Woodward for the year.  That means breakfast with my boobie!!!!  And there is no other place I'd rather be than at the Waffle House with him!  I absolutely love this 1:1 time!  This kid is hilarious!
