According to Bess, our elves are "funny and ah-lar-i-ous " .
My kids love Mr. Jingles and Belle. And while I know there are moms out there who think the elves are creepy or who dread what they are going to do with them, I am not one of those moms. I love the elves too. So please don't hate me for getting into this a bit!
Mr. Jingles and Belle arrived and brought our new Christmas books for this holiday season!
The kids were beyond thrilled by their arrival.
And were even more ecstatic about their breakfast treat too! Of course, Ben only wanted to eat the red parts of the cereal but ya know... the elves were okay with this!
The days after lead to many silly things.
Bowling and encouraging Ben to go potty where their first 2 adventures!
Hiding in lunchboxes and leaving Christmas Tree Cakes for school lunches and getting creative with Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head!
Cruising Around in the Mystery Mobile with Scooby and Racing through the streets with Spiderman!
Until they found themselves tangled in a web of colored lights in our kitchen window wreaths!
Streaming Festive Fun upstairs while the little loves dozed away at night!
And playing Twister with a few of their long time friends!
Then they were found hanging from our kitchen pot rack after delivering new Christmas shirts for everyone!!
Then we all got a laugh when they decided to turn our noses into Rudolph Noses while we slept!
and surprised us one morning before school by giving us a coloring fun tablecloth!
While Charlie slept, those silly elves plastered festive bows anywhere their little hands could reach. They even thought to decorate his school clothes too!
Our elves have a hard time leaving!
This year, they helped to present Charlie with a special Christmas present from Santa!
And as sad as it was, FINALLY, 2 days after Christmas, our elves left us with one last festive treat before they headed back to the North Pole!
Mr. Jingles and Belle, we loved every minute you spent with us! Thank you for all the laughs you gave us! Can't wait to see you again next year!!
Sidebar - I now have a box of Elf Items that are used by Mr. Jingles and Belle. While I enjoy having fun with the elves, it is nice to have some "back up ideas" tucked away in the attic. This year, it was brought to my attention that our elves were doing some of the same things as last year! YIKES and WHAT? Kids, you aren't suppose to call out the elves for repeating some of their tricks!! That might hurt their feelings!! Plus, cause deep late night thinking to your tired momma!! So, just for the record, I am guessing none of the above elf-tastic things that were done this year can be repeated. Sure would hate to be called out 2 years in a row!! Thanks Wylie!!!
