Day 1, 12-4-15, This morning the kids woke up to find the elves with a skittle message "We are back".

Day 1, 12-4-15, After both Britt and Ruth took some time to sound it out and read the message, they were all excited to eat the skittles with breakfast.

Day 2, 12-5-15, We spent all day walking around the elves, and not using the ceiling fan.

Day 3, 12-6-15, We came home from Church to discover that the elves had gotten hungry, and got into the Christmas goodies. Grandmother's candy and oyster crackers were a hit, as was Ahna's Chex Mix.

Day 4, 12-7-2015, Apparently the elves haven't been told that we have more rooms in the new house than just the kitchen, because once again they were bringing Christmas surprises in there. They dyed the last of the milk green and left a note, "because green milk tastes better."

12-8-15, Day 5, The Elves take a shower.

12-8-15, Day 5, Ruth shreked about Twinkle and Jingle being naked in the bathtub. Britt just thought it was weird that they leave their boots and hats on in the shower.

12-8-15, Day 5, Mistletoe is covering his eyes while the girls get undressed.

12-9-15, Day 6, Today the elves used special dry erase markers, lipstick and some shaving cream to make a Santa hat on the mirror. Their message said, "Hohoho, Don't you look like Santa?"

Britt was really worried about who drew on a mirror like that. But Momma assured him it would all clean up easy. That the elves brought special markers, not regular markers. He said that was good because they would get a spanking if they drew on mirrors. I told him yes they would. (Which by the way is precisely the reason, the elves weren't sure if they should pull this stunt. No need to encourage bad behavior, my three have it covered without inspiration.) Grumpy pants, wouldn't co-operate for a picture, and said, just post that one. She was mad that I made her put on clean pants for supper, and they weren't a pair that she likes. Rebecca insisted that Spiderman and Little Spiderman take a picture with her.

12-10-15, Day 7, Do you wanna build a snowman? (out of playdo?)

Mistletoe's letter reads:

Do you want to build a snowman? Do you like mine? Since it does not snow in Florida, we brought you some playdo. We thought you might like to play with it while Momma unboxes the schoolroom today. What do you think of my snowman? Jingle and Twinkle say it doesn't look like Olaf. Olaf says it looks good though.

Love,
Mistletoe
(and Jingle and Twinkle)

12-11-2015, Day 8, The elves are up to mischief and mayham with the Minions.

Dave and Kevin watch it all while Twinkle turns bananas into minions. Apparently she used Jerry, Stuart, and Kevin as models. Apparently Stuart just knocked out Mistletoe with the fart gun. While a horrified Jerry and a laughing Jingle look on.

12-17-2015, Day 9, After a somewhat lengthy absence due to really bad behavior at bedtime, the elves appeared today in the fireplace.

Twinkle was inspecting the chimney. Wonder why she needed to do that. Ruth finally figured out that she was check to make sure Santa could get in. I told her I guess she needed to see if it was structurally sound. Britt on the other hand was real insistent that Mistletoe was make a hole in there, so that Santa could get down the chimney. I informed him there was already a hole, that's why it was a chimney. Jingle doesn't look like any contractor I would trust. I think she's just looking for an excuse to use that thing.
12-24-2015, Day 16, The elves brought the snow that they promised the kids, in the post card that they mailed them right before Thanksgiving. It came in the form of big snow flakes hung from the ceiling and special North Pole snow that wouldn't melt all over the windows.




12-24, Day 16, Tonight as promised the Elves climbed down so the kids could tell them bye, before Santa picks them up tonight.

12-24, The kids playing and talking to their elves before the leave for another year.
