Day 24 - Announcement

No explanation needed, you know where we are!

Well, here he is, on one knee. I never thought that I'd see this...Jimmy asked Ellie to marry him yesterday. Wedding information to follow.

We hope that you all can make it for the wedding celebration of the year!


Hang in their with us as Jimmy & Ellie prepare for their wedding day. We will see you back here a little later for more info.

Day 19, 20, 21, 22, & 23 - I'm embarrassed to say...

...that the reason we have been unable to post was because Jimmy was arrested! 

Jimmy decided to get in on the action in the North Pole and got himself arrested. We bailed him out shortly after he arrived, but he had already learned a lot while in the pen...thankfully, it wasn't bad!

He learned about mug shots of course, so he decided to try it out on MC while she was sleeping!

Jimmy actually even headed up a book club while locked up! He heard mention that MC once read this book, so they started with it.  The other inmates felt like it may benefit them in their upcoming parol hearings.  That Jimmy is such a leader!

At the North Pole Penitentiary, they make inmates take a sewing class to prepare for Christmas, and Jimmy didn't get out of it. I overheard him say that he was making a special surprise for Sassy on Friday. I don't know what this means, but he said, "She MUST beat Lohmar!" It must be some kind of elf code words?

Speaking of Christmas, Jimmy was just looking at the calendar and saw where Santa is coming this weekend! Can you believe it's almost here???


Jimmy has some exciting news to share with you all tomorrow evening! Come back to find out what it is!

Day 18 - Bad decisions.

Jimmy took a ride on Rody tonight. He said that it was nothin' compared to a wild reindeer! 

When Jimmy found the pack of Christmas Peeps, he made the bad decision to eat the whole pack. This was just not smart!

With every bad decision comes a big consequence. Jimmy traded the Peeps for the Pepto! One sick elf, one straw, and one bottle of Pepto is the result of this bad decision!

Day 17 - Settling Down

 Jimmy perched himself up on to MC's baby picture. I guess he just needed to be held? On a side note...isn't that a beautiful baby? (and a beautiful manly arm too!)

When we went to our friend's house tonight for a dinner date, we found Jimmy hanging out with their elf, Jingle. The resemblance is uncanny! MC was a tad confused with the similarities. They were just hanging out at The Hodges Home with the shepherds, wise men, a few animals, and baby Jesus.  You know, just a typical Tuesday night! 

He couldn't leave without a little snuggle time with Levi!

Many of you have been asking about Jimmy's dating situation since he got himself in a heap of trouble with the ladies of our house.  He has decided to settle down, and he chose none other than Ellie to settle down with.  I, personally, cannot think of a better match for him. Honestly, I can't believe that he got her to settle down!  I wonder how long this will last.

Day 16 - Missing Rudolph

Jimmy has been slacking on his elfly duties lately, and a lot of it has to do with a little thing called...PINTEREST! Let me guess, you're thinking, "I really need to follow him!" He's pinning left and right, and getting super inspired! SCARY!

Speaking of inspiration...Jimmy's little stunt he pulled tonight was inspired by a special friend back home that Jimmy is really missing. I guess that painting MC's nose red might make him feel closer to Rudolph in some weird way? One thing is for sure, I can't wait to capture the look on MC's face when she wakes up to see this!

Come back tomorrow to see for yourself what that candid moment looks like! 

Day 15 - What have I come home to?

I was out of town last night, and all I could think about was how much trouble Jimmy was getting in to without my supervision.  I was about to find out...

 

When I drove into the driveway, I noticed that our mailbox had been vandalized. He painted over our name, then replaced it with his.  This was not the only thing he changed...

I tried unlocking the front door, only to realize that the locks had been changed. Jimmy was in the window with that smirk on his face, waving as to say, "see ya later, this is my house now!"

After changing the locks back and removing the paint from our mailbox, we got our house back in order. Momma is home and not going to put up with this mischief! Come back soon to see how long Jimmy stays out of trouble.

Day 14 - Don't mess with Jimmy!

When MC found Jimmy stuck in the paper towels, she said, "What in the...mommy, what's the word I can say?" She learned the word, "heck," at school. That world sounds so terrible coming from a 3 year old's mouth, so I don't let her use it. Then she remembered, "What in the world is Jimmy doing in the paper towels?" I love how funny she is when she finds him!

 I found Jimmy hustling money from an innocent baby bear tonight. Ridiculous! Don't let that creepy little smirk on that elf's face fool you...

MC has been having nightmares lately. I don't really know what's going on. A few nights ago, I had to kill an invisible spider. You'll do what you have to do at 3:00 AM to get back to sleep as quickly as possible! Well, Jimmy took it upon himself to "protect" MC from any invisible attackers. With shotgun in hand, Jimmy perched himself on top of MC's bed to take watch. (For those momma's who are thinking that I am a terrible mom for letting MC see Jimmy with a shotgun...I'm crazy, but not that crazy! Jimmy moved before MC woke up.)




We'll see you back here tomorrow night...or else!
