A Fridgid Morning...for the elves!

Good morning! It is already hard enough to believe we are only a week away from Christmas, and the weather today is making it even harder. There was a warm edge to the air this morning, as the kids and I were waiting for the bus to arrive. Our elves seemed to have sensed the warmth and decided to chill out (literally!) in our fridge.

Lolly dyed our milk green!

Holly was hungry for Gogurt.

Jolly was hungry for leftovers from Chili's. He snagged a fry.

 How is the weather where you are? Are you under a blanket of snow? Are you facing a unseasonably warm day, like we are?

Elf on the Shelf Rewind!

Like many other families, we have an Elf on the Shelf. Well, actually, we have three elves. We started with one elf last year, and two more joined us this year. Our first elf is a boy and his name is Jolly. His sisters, Holly and Lolly, joined us this year. My hope is the elves will move on and continue the tradition when my kids are older, and begin their own families.The elves have been found in some pretty funny places!

Our elves arrived on the Monday after Thanksgiving. They brought us breakfast, and new plates and hot cocoa cups for the kids. The Hubs made scrambled eggs for everyone to help balance the sweet breakfast the elves brought.

Big brother just spotted one of the new elves!

The elves made reindeer faces out of donuts. I think they forgot to add eyes!

A few days after the elves arrived, we caught them in the middle of a game of Yahtzee.

One morning, they brought us a new movie. Home Alone! The kids already had Home Alone 2. I guess the elves wanted to make sure we had the first one as well.

 Those naughty elves! I think they were trying to get my baking chocolate. That is what is in the bin at the top!

On this day, they had their own things going on.

Another day doing their own things.

Crazy! They were hiding in the stockings

I guess the kitchen wasn't festive enough!

Maybe, they missed the North Pole on this day?

 

While Jolly was in the kitchen, Holly was reading Lolly a story. How sweet!

 Oh, no! Our tree was rolled!

Today, they had a candy battle. Girls against the boy!
