More Herbie Antics

InstaFriday ~ Elf on the Shelf Edition

This is our first year to have an elf on the shelf join us from the North Pole. 

One of AP's good friends had an elf join them this year and AP's friend told her all about how all she had to do was write a letter to Santa and he would send an elf to our house. 

Of course, AP came home and started writing her letter immediately. 

The only problem was we were leaving for NC the next day. So we mailed the letter that next morning and, lo and behold, Santa delivered an elf to the grandparents house in NC! 

So, the pics are of elf antics I have captured on my cell phone this week!

The grass may not be greener...

But in some places the McDonalds is a lot nicer!

Thanksgiving in NC

So this Thanksgiving I took ZERO pictures. Very strange. But, we are so very thankful to be in NC surrounded by family.

Thanksgiving evening was overshadowed by news that Nanna was rushed to the hospital from my sisters house. Please remember her in your prayers. Not exactly the holiday she had planned.

We didn't participate in the midnight craziness of Black Friday, but AP and I did go out shopping midday for angel tree gifts.

The boys went to ECU for their first Pirates football game and had a great time watching a close game that went into overtime and ended in a pirate win (arrrgh).

And apparently I made them stare at the sun as I took their picture.

Blogging After Defeat

We are driving home from K-town as I type. Although, it was most definitely not the outcome we wanted (really, what coach gives up on 3rd down with a timeout and 30+ seconds left?!?), we still enjoyed the awesome weather and our day on Rocky Top. This was the last game that we will attend this season. It's been fun! And they can only get better, right? :)
