Fun with our Elves

Our Elves arrived promptly on December 1st for the holiday season. This year was special because we had a new elf for Toni and the elves brought the first annual North Pole Breakfast. Elfie is our original elf in red, Toni had the privilege of naming her elf on her own and I must say with little help from Waylon and I she came up with Peter Pan. Impressive considering the elf is kind of dressed like him in green and Peter does fly with magic dust like our Elf does. So Peter Pan and Elfie were here until Christmas Eve to keep watch on the kiddos.

This was the North Pole Breakfast. They arrived with a table set for Breakfast. Snow covered donuts and treats and prizes for each of the kids.

They brought little wooden toys that had pictures of Santa, a Christmas Tree and a North Pole sign with markers to color with. The kids loved them and started on them promptly after eating breakfast.

The elves also brought hats for each of the kids. Waylon loved his it was Rudolph and Toni, well she was not into hers this year but we will keep it and see how she feels about it next year.

Here was another night the elves had some fun. They were always together each night so it was easy for the kids to find. One of the first nights they decided to ride on the horse and it looks like they had a lot of fun. They were also caught in the village, kitchen, up in the kids bathrooms a couple of times and even around the Christmas tree too.

This was one of the last things the elves brought for the kids. It seemed because there were two elves more "things" came this year with them. On this morning the elves had left some magic seeds thanking them for their help from the night before. Yeah we had a small mishap and had to make an elf hospital because dear Toni touched the elves. So thankfully we had a small visit from Connor and Emma's elf for next year who is in training come and help our elves down to the hospital we had made and also deliver these magic seeds to plant the next night.

We had to plant the seeds in sugar and then wait overnight to see what would grow.

Viola! Cookies!!!

On Christmas Eve we decided to gather all our treats, candy and all the sugar we could find to make treats for our Elves as a thank you for all they had given to us this season. Well and for the trip back home to the North Pole too.

The elves were a huge hit this year and I am looking forward to their return again next year. They LOVED the treats because just the plates were left in the morning ALL of the candy was gone.

To Elfie and Peter Pan...we will miss you and can't wait until next year is here again.
