Waiting for Santa!

Our last couple of nights with Chippy and Rosie were bittersweet.  We simply love our elves being here but we know that they have important jobs to do back home too.  I am hoping that our elves return to visit very soon!  This isn't the end of this blog.  I will continue to find ideas and hopefully post them for you when I do!  Happy Elfing!

We found Chippy and Rosie looking awfully guilty!

This is apparently what they were up to!  Guilty as charged!

Cookies and Buckeyes for Santa, Carrots for the reindeer!

Chippy and Rosie all packed up and waiting for Santa.  We hugged them good-bye and sent them on their way.

Yummy! Donuts!!!

Day 50 - Chippy and Rosie only have tonight and tomorrow night left with us!  We are so sad that they are leaving on Christmas Eve!  We decided to make "elf" donuts for them to take back to the North Pole with them when they leave.  They were supposed to share them with other elves back home but tonight I found that they have gotten into them.  Hope they don't eat them all!!!!  If you like the box, it was a free printable I found on a different blog.  Here is the site for those boxes!  http://learningasisew.blogspot.com/2012/12/elf-on-shelf-ideas-and-printable-links.html

The "elf" donuts are made from chocolate cheerios and red and green fruit loops.  We dipped the tops in white chocolate then dipped in either red and green sprinkles, white granular sugar, or chopped pecans.  They turned out super cute!  These have become a tradition in our house.  This is our 3rd year making them.  Happy Elfing!!!

Some Last Minute Ideas!!!

So I haven't had a chance to post in a couple of days so I am going to post a few of my own elf adventures along with some more from my friends.  Happy Elfing!

Chippy and Rosie got into the formula mistaking it for milk!

Chippy and Rosie were excited to start Christmas Break from school with watching every Christmas movie we own!

Chippy and Rosie brought back new pajamas for the girls with a note saying they were handmade by Mrs. Claus and that both girls made the nice list.

This elf is being all he can be!

Awwww......he made reindeer food!

Just a Cleanin'!

Day 46 - Tonight my elves made a mess and I caught them!  In this house if you make a mess, you have to clean it up!  That's right, my elves are cleaning!  Happy Elfing!

It's the Elfettes!!!

Day 45 - Tonight my elves decided to dance the night away arm in arm!  It's Rosie, Emma Elf, and Chippy kicking it up Rockette......I mean Elfette style!  Dance on little elves, but keep it down.....I have to work tomorrow!  Happy Elfing!

A Little Jealous

Day 44 - Tonight I find our elves showing that they are a tad jealous of my daughter's good behavior chart filling up so quickly!  They decided to make their own and fill it up with stickers!  Happy Elfing!

Got Some Catching Up to Do!

I seem to have been busier than my elves lately and have gotten behind on my posting!!!  So tonight I post a few to catch up!!!  Happy Elfing everyone!  Christmas is just around the corner!!!!  We will be sad to see our elves go!

Party Animals!!!

Day 39 - I know I told those elves absolutely NO PARTIES.......but here they are hyping themselves up on candy, candy corn, and syrup.  I already told them that if they get pulled over for FUI (flying under the influence) I am not bailing them out!  LOL!  Happy Elfing!

We Love to Color!

Since my daughter has spent a lot of time perfecting her coloring skills lately, our elves decided to bring her an "elf" coloring book.  But what fun would that be, if they didn't get to color in it too???

Ladies and Gentlemen!!!

Tonight my elves are feeling a little "Cirque Du Soleil"!  Draw your attention to the center ring!!!  Happy Elfing!

Elf Cocoa!

Tonight my elves have come back from the North Pole with everything needed to make "elf" cocoa.  They brought back directions too.  To make "elf" cocoa, heat 4 chocolate Santa's and 2 peppermint Hershey Kisses and 8 ounces of milk in the microwave (in a mug).  Stir warm mixture with a candy cane.  Top the cocoa with a Peep brand Snowman or Christmas Tree.  Enjoy........notice my elves did a little enjoying themselves!  Happy Elfing!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Tonight I found our elves, Chippy and Rosie, playing in their own Winter Wonderland.  Seems fitting with the weather I see outside our windows.  4 to 5 inches of snow and it isn't even Christmas yet.  Oh well......at least the elves are loving it!  Happy Elfing!
