Elfcapades

Because I am the worst blogger ever, I am going to post some highlights of what our elves have been up to since their arrival.    This time of year is SO busy.  I have appointments on top of appointments this week, but Christmas is FINALLY coming and I have to catch up.  Sidenote:  if you want to get on Jaggar's bad side, tell him that Christmas is not close.  He has told on many friends that have said that.  Of course, some had the audacity to say that in like September to the Christmas kid.

Here's what they've been up to...some highlights.

One night the girls gave the boys makeovers complete with hair and wardrobe change.

 THEN they decided that they wanted to give TRAVIS a makeover with my favorite polish.

 I mean, of COURSE, they're going to get the ELF eyeliner pen.  That's seriously what I wear, and I love it.  Good stuff for the price of $1-$3, depending on what you get. 

 Again, kids went nuts over this.

 THEN they had another surprise.  We saw Frozen the night before (super cute movie), and Sage likes to leave them notes in the night.  They respond in some way, shape or form every time.

 They had a new friend.  Sage named the "ho ho husky," Olaf, after the snowman in Frozen.

 The elves are ready to be sprinkled with the magic snow, so Jaggar got in that line, too.  :)

 Sometimes, they take cotton ball swims.

 Sage ready for her Christmas school performance, and the elves came along.

 This was one of my favorite nights.  They made a winter snow scene complete with snow (duh) and Christmas trees with lights.

 I thought this was super cute too.  Costner loved ripping them all down.  Sage goes, "I don't really get this one."  I said, "Sage, DECK the WALLS with BOWS of Holly."  That brought it home for her.  Apparently, the other things they do are logical?  But nothing is more real to her.

 And then sometimes, they just bring gifts.  Christmas stickers and books.

 Sage wrote a letter to Santa.  She's either writing to the elves or Santa.  This one hurt my heart.  She said, "Well Santa is magical right?"  I said, "He is!  But...he's not any more magical than your own faith."

 Other times, they play games.

 Or build a puzzle

 This one wanted to figure out how to get to the puzzle.

 And THEN another night they wanted to be Snap, Crackle and Pop on the rice krispies and even served the kids breakfast.  WE just never know what we'll wake up to.  I fully expect my kids to sleep until 11 am the day after Christmas because when elves are here, the wake up calls are EARLY to see what they did.
