2010 Elf Mischief at our house :) Day 4

This morning the kids awoke to find that Those Crazy Elves had hitched the wagon to one of Eliana's Dogs and ran in circles around our tree to put on all the lights!  Those sure are some BIG bright lights!!  I can hardly believe that PD slept only 4 feet away durring all the comotion of getting those lights on the tree!

Mom had just taken that wagon out of storage yesterday, it hadn't even been dusted yet but those crazy elves were having a great time  in it!

The elves worked really hard last night on creating an advent calendar for the kids, they left a note saying they saw that the shoe organizer on mom's closet door looked perfect for the project with its 24 little pouches.  They gathered a few more supplies from the box of sewing trim that Gramma passed on to mommy from Angeline's collection of treasures. 

They made number cards using the cute candy cane numbers mom had just downloaded from http://jilldzines.blogspot.com/ and wrapped a few gifts to add some color.   

They left a note telling the kids that they would be adding more gifts over the next few days, because with mom staying up so late they did not have much time to work on it Ha Ha Ha Ha...

They also said that Elvin's little brother had been begging to come visit our house, so they asked Santa if it would be ok for him to come this year, Santa said he thought it would be a great idea to let, Marley help keep watch over the advent calendar, each day his job is to move to the right number to help us count down to Christmas.  Hopefully he does not cause any trouble while he is here!

Eliana brought Trixie to school today for show and tell, While the kids were at school and mom was off running erands all morning, Elvin, Skeeter and Marley gathered a few more gifts for in the advent calendar.

And Skeeter gathered supplies for some little Elf Kiss treats the kids could deliver to their friends when this freezing cold windy stops blowing and they can get out and Jingle them!

Tonight the elves went online and printed off a few "been jingled" coloring pages, with instructions for the kids to color them, and then once it warms up a bit, and PD can get around a little better on those crutches they can go "Jingle" their friends.

2010 Christmas Season ~Elfcapades~ Bum foot

Thursday night, Elvin felt pretty bad about Preston's foot, he made himself a cast out of all of Preston's legos

2010 Christmas Season!! Elfcapades! Happy Birthday to PD

A month or so ago, PD wrote Santa a letter asking him if his elf, Elvin could please come visit for his birthday on Thanksgiving..

Today he turned 8, and he was beyond excited to wake up and find Elvin WITH a present for him this morning!

And this picture pretty much shows how thrilled he was with the Lego Advent that Elvin brought him, he cannot wait for December 1st to hurry up and get here so that he can open the first one...

Sadly after our Thanksgiving dinner tonight, the birthday boy was outside playing and I think he broke his foot kicking at ice.  Looks like I will be taking him to the doctor in the morning instead of heading out for black friday..
