This morning the kids woke up to find the elves had made them an advent wreath.

A very special advent wreath!  On the back of each day there is a Random Act of Christmas Kindness (RACK), so every day there will be a new RACK for the kids to do that day. They also brought post cards that they can leave with some of their RACK.



eLfCaPaDeS of 2011 Santa Says...

This morning the elves were back on Zack's little blue tree with a Contract from Santa on ways the kids could make the nice list before it's too late!

They each had to choose 3 duties to do around the house and sign their names.

eLfCaPaDeS of 2011 Poor Elvin

The kids were a bit sad when they woke up yesterday and found that their Elves were gone, they left a note saying they heard about Elvin and were going up to the Northpole to spend a few days with him in the hospital

They arrived back here this morning

They told the kids that they were very sad that they were on the naughty list right now and that Santa wasn't sure if the elves should come back, they had to go to Elf Court and got to come back for 10 days and in those 10 days the Elves have to help the kids get on the nice list!!

They also brought a note from Elvin and a picture of him in the hospital.
