This morning, Bryce accidentally touched Buddy (our Elf on the Shelf). Ivie screamed. Macie broke into sobs. Bryce collapsed onto the floor in tears. ‪#‎stillbelieving‬ (P.S. I assured them that Santa, with all of his magic, would figure something out.)

This boy is SERIOUS about stacking some states. (And, as you can tell from his facial expression, also serious about wanting help reading the questions - because he knows most of the answers.) ‪#‎thereareworsewaystospendscreentime‬

My 3 1/2 year old just correctly placed all 50 states on the map. Entirely by himself. Without missing a single one. ‪#‎stackthestates‬ ‪#‎smartypants‬

26 hours after starting, and I have learned that one way to get Dale to stop playing Candy Crush is to pull out a challenging puzzle.

The second of 2 puzzles I thought would last us through the holidays. Clearly I underestimated both his ability and his desire. ‪#‎whatwillwedotomorrow‬

Grandma may not love the Disney movies on the iPad, but it is a guaranteed way to get some snuggle time with Bryce!

Macie was super quiet in Grandma's kitchen. I thought she might be sneaking cookies. But when I peeked around the corner, I found this. ‪#‎dickandjaneultimatestorybook‬
