While the kids were out playing the elves were doing this:

The elves dropped this gift off for the kids yesterday. Cute little photo frame ornaments. We put pictures in them and hung them on the tree. I need to get a pic!

On Day 2 Poppy went into the girls’ room and played dress up, leaving ALL of their shoes on the bed. And then she got stuck hanging from the ceiling fan.

This morning we woke up to this:

I think this will be our 3rd year having an Elf come to stay with us from Tday ’til Christmas. The first 2 years our elf was too shy to show himself but this year he is not only going to show up, he’s bring a friend! Frenzy is his name – I need a good name for his female friend, any suggestions?

Frenzy comes and reports to Santa on how the kids are behaving. He also gets into trouble and makes the kids so excited.

Some of the things he’s done in the past years are:

- write a note in Cheerios on the front porch
- toilet paper the tree
- hang R1′s undies on the tree
- paint Mr. Fox’s toenails
- hang lights in R1′s room while he was sleeping

This year we are going to have LOADS more fun since the actual elves will be here. I’ll keep you posted as we go. Right now I have to figure out a name and write a note from them so they can arrive later.
