"The Adventures of Ginger Sprinkle Day 11"

When we woke up this morning Gingy was tucked away in the bowl of my mixer, good thing we weren't baking today.  Tomorrow will be our last morning of finding Ms. Sprinkle, and I will miss our mornings of darting around the house to find her.  Hmmm... I wonder where we will find her.

"P52-Anticipation"

This is my first try with HDR photography, but thought it would be a great opportunity for beautiful colors.  Everyone is waiting and excited to see what all these beautiful presents hold.

The Adventures of Ginger Sprinkle days 8, 9, and 10

Well... I kinda fell down on the job on day 8, not sure why I didn't capture GS but she was up high on the buit-in bookshelf hiding in an artificial plant.  I do however have pictures to share of day 9 and 10 : )  Day 9 we found our lovely house elf  (funny Harry Potter reference inserted there) hiding in a fake tree that we have strung up with Christmas lights.  She has been enjoying hiding in the bushes lately.  On day 10 Ginger Sprinkle is above the dinner table sitting on the chandelier.  She can see alot from this vantage point.  I hope she sends good reports to the big SC momma wants a new water proof iPod to swim with, Daddy wants an iPad mini, the Man-Cub wants Halo 4, KK wants Uggs, and Itty Bitty wants a huge set of Lego friends. I guess we will see who has been naughty or nice.

"The Adventures of Ginger Sprinkle - Day 7"

 Today is a very special day!  It is Itty Bitty's 9th birthday! So in honor of her day Ginger Sprinkle left a small gift for her right below her hiding place.  As you can see from the first picture GS is perched high above me on our TV.  Picture 2 is a close up of her lofty position.  The third picture is of the cute necklace that was left for Itty Bitty.  She was SO excited that she got an elf written note, and a small gift.

"The Adventures of Ginger Sprinkle Day 6"

After a relaxing day in the marshmallow bubble bath Ginger Sprinkle has moved to a new place to observe our awesome family, our dog Bosley's Christmas stocking hanging from the mantle.

"The Adventures of Ginger Sprinkle - Day 5"

 Itty Bitty could not believe her eyes when she woke up this morning and saw that Ginger Sprinkle got into our bag of mini marshmallows and decided to take a bath in them.  She is really relaxing and comfortable!

"The Adventures of Ginger Sprinkle - Day 4"

Today Ginger Sprinkle was a bit harder to find.  We finally found her hiding in the front room up in the window.  She is sitting behind the curtain rod and in the window casing.  This is a wonderful place to watch what is going on in our household and even look around outside.  Only a few more days until Christmas, I think 4/5th of our family got a good report to Santa last night so hopefully today Santa gets a 100% nice report.

Ginger Sprinkle Day 3

Today Itty Bitty found Ginger Sprinkle straight away.  She was sitting in the bill pay area above our computer with one of our French Horn ornaments.  She must have been playing Christmas Music this morning when we were still sleeping.  Wonder where she will end up tomorrow.

Introducing Ginger Sprinkle!

 Our family has finally gotten our own elf on the shelf.  Ginger Sprinkle appeared yesterday morning, and Itty Bitty went crazy with happiness.  When she showed up she was just sitting on the shelf hanging out with our AFLAC duck dressed like a reindeer.  This morning when we work up Ginger Sprinkle made her way to the tree to hand out with Yoda, a ballerina, and Marie for Aristocats.  What we didn't expect was that she would hand underwear on the tree.  On top of the underwear she left a candy wrapper.  I wonder where she's going to end up tomorrow.

My Favorite Ornament

Picking my favorite ornament was so hard!  I have so many that are special to me, but settled on my Cinderella ornament that lights up.  This is special on so many levels, each year Santa brings us all a new ornament in our stocking.  Sometimes they are random sometimes they are themed.  This was a theme year, shortly after we all got Disney themed ornaments our children found out that their big Christmas present was a 4 day stay at Disney World, followed directly by a 5 day Bahamas Cruise on the Disney Magic.  We were leaving in 3 days.
On another level this ornament reminds me of my sweet prince of a husband, who takes me out to waltz.
