This is our third year with magic elves. The first year we had adopted an elf from an online website, I had a very hard time finding an elf tho, he just moved around the house each day. Last year I found a new elf and got a bit more creative, Skeeter caused a bit of mischief the month he spent with us. And this year the kids had adopted elves from a store and from a garage sale. They wrote letters to santa asking if he could train them to be magic elves and join skeeter this year. They are currently finishing up Santa's E.I.T. (Elves In Training) Program. they were suppose to graduate last week, but our printer went on the fritz so I can't print out any of the doccuments I've made up for it
Our elves are Skeeter Jingle Peppermints (His twin sister, Penelope Twinkle Peppermints lives with my neices and nephew) our new elves this year are Elvin Jingles and Miss Trixie
Our Elves arrived on Sunday November 29th, they set up and decorated the kids little trees in our living room
* They cuddled up in their sleigh and had answered a bunch of questions the kids had wrote to them
* 12/1 when the kids got home from school we opened our door to find them at the computer blaring Christmas music and typing up a message for the kids to watch Prep and Landing.
* That night Elvin found my DS7's lunch bag and used it for a sleeping bag because the one Mrs Claus had made him was too small, she forgot he was an oversized elf
* 12/2 we had a light dusting of snow and the elves were excited to go play in it, they built the kids a snowman, but when they brought it inside it melted so they decided to build one out of cotton balls and roll it in their magic snow so the kids could keep it forever
* 12/3 The elves had discovered DS11's book of Pokemon cards, they were super excited about all of his "Christmas Cards" from his friends but thought the Pokemon needed some Merry Management because their cards didn't seem very holiday at all.
*12/4 The elves wrote a very long scavanger hunt/riddle for the kids to set out on the next morning, starting with a candy cane hunt at our community center, then to Lowes to build wooden gingerbread houses, then to Home Depot to build wagons and back home to build real gingerbread houses
* 12/5 They set up a candy cane race track in our living room and raced eachother in the wagons the kids had made at Home Depot the day before
* 12/6 They brought the kids a GIANT activity/coloring book, they colored a picture and told them to do the same to decorate the apartment
* 12/7 They got into the remaining candy canes from the candy cane hunt and ate almost all of them leaving the wrappers behind as evidence!
* 12/8 They brought the kids a new movie to enjoy on their snow day from school, Santa Buddies. They gathered up all the kids toy dogs to preview it with them, couldnt' find any popcorn so they enjoyed some candy bones they found in mom's closet while they watched the movie.
* 12/9 Last night our elves went on strike!
Tonight they will be bringing a bag of ingredients for holiday baking with my grandma this weekend
My Grandma doesn't have a big Christmas tree so I might use the awesome decorated ladder idea here!!
