Elf

   Here are some new picture of what the elf has been up to the last few days.  The kids are having so much discovering what he did the night before.  He is just so  much fun!

    The kids were very excited to discover that he left them a very special message in marshmallows. 

This morning Ashlyn was very distraught.  She couldn't find her elf anywhere.  She literally searched the entire house. I kept telling her he was probably playing hide and seek with her.  We got in the car to take her to school, and she was so surprised to find him in Gracie's car seat. 

Sneaky elf

Ashlyn left a note one night for Eddie to take home with him

The note she wrote him.  So sweet!

    Ashlyln always loves it when he dyes the milk green.  She also loved it because her dad made waffles with the milk which were also green. 

   This night Eddie Buddy was a very, very naughty elf.  He got into my makeup.  I was not at all happy to see that he touched my makeup!

He even put some on!

    We don't know what happened this night, but he must have been extra naughty since we found him surrounded by police cars.   It's not in the picture, but he also brought a note that said Santa told him he couldn't bring a gingerbread house until the kids cleaned their rooms.  They immediately got their rooms picked up. 

Every year he brings a gingerbread house for us to make.  We found him in the window with the house. 

   This was a very special surprise.  Eddie arrived with a friend and a book.  This is our new reindeer.  The kids got to name him, and they chose the name Chippy.  The best part about Chippy is they get to touch him and give him as much love as possible. 

We were all amazed to see this huge picture that Eddie made out of tape.  He really outdid himself this time!
