Elf Antics-Week 2

Having an elf in the house sure makes things exciting! The girls are both still so excited to wake up and see where Lana is in the house. Sophia is usually up first and the first one to find her, but she's a good sport about not telling Emma where to look.

This week, Lana has been getting into all sorts of mischief.

Lana knew she was going to have a busy week ahead of her, so she decided to relax with a nice bubble bath.

She got a little overzealous with the Mega Blocks.

She just wanted to see what it felt like to be Santa.

Lana was tempted by the kitchen gingerbread tree and got stuck.

She made some "elf-friendly" changes to our menu for the week.

 

Lana took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and had a campout.

 

Do you have an elf? Has your elf been naughty or nice?

Elf Antics-Week One

Lana, the elf, has been back for almost a week now. The girls have loved having her back and they run down the stairs each morning to see what adventures she had during the night.

Day 1: Lana and friends played a little game of Candy Land.

Day 2: Fishing for a snack.

Day 3: Drawing a self-portrait.

Day 4: After she made a snowflake garland, she decided to just hang around.

Day 5: Lana heard that Emma had Show & Tell at school, so she decided to tag along.

Day 6: Lana read to The Little People Nativity group. What is she reading? Their favorite book, The Christmas Story, of course.

North Pole Breakfast

Our beloved elf, Lana, returned to us this morning from the North Pole. She brought along some treats for the girls and a letter from the big man himself to remind the girls that Lana would be watching over them until Christmas and reporting their behavior back to Santa.

The girls were so excited to wake up and find that the breakfast table had been redecorated by Lana, along with some special surprises all the way from the North Pole.  Lana brought the girls new cups and special breakfast of snowmen, hot cocoa, and snowflake marshmallows.

I can't wait to see the antics that Lana pulls while we sleep. She seems like such a sweet elf, but she sure has a silly streak!

It was a great morning full of memories with our girls. I absolutely love this time of year!
