I like to keep our family up-to-date with events and photos from our lives. It makes it seem like we are not hundreds of miles away.
Thank you for visiting our blog. We love seeing your comments!
To some this is a silly post, but I want to remember the "mischeif" our Elf did this year and the things that our kids said about finding him.
The evening of Thanksgiving, the kids opened the box that had our Elf and the story.
During the story, it asks you to name your Elf. Kaitlyn jumped and said, "I want to name him Jingle Bells!" What a perfect name! We call him "Jingles" for short. After the kids went to bed, Jingles got hungry....
he had some s'mores
The kids both looked in the last place he was watching from. He wasn't there... that's when they looked up!
The next day he put window clings on our windows and left some for the kids to put up with Grandma and Grandpa.
This morning Jacob was the first awake. He looked all around for Jingles. Kaitlyn got up shortly after him, and they both found him at the same time!
He built a house...
later that night, I noticed the kids built a castle in front of him!
When Jacob woke up, he looked up and said, "Jingles is way up in the sky!" Later, I asked Kaitlyn, "Where do you think Jingles is tying to go?" She said, "to the fan!"
Weeeeeeeee!
It took a while for the kids to notice Jingles changed the socks...
Hmmm... I wonder what he's up to now??
Kaitlyn found him and the present he wrapped!
blending in with the advent calendar, Kaitlyn almost missed him!
Where's Jingles?
looks up to no good...
He wrote a note on the bathroom mirror, "Merry Christmas!"
We have had record high temperatures for this time of year, high 70s! This is December.... right? Even Jingles was getting a little warm, so he found a place in the fridge to hide :)
The kids enjoyed their colorful milk with breakfast. Kaitlyn said, "I have pink milk!"
still warm outside, keeping cool :)
