Just hanging around in the stocking- making sure they were securely hung for Santa. He left a note and money so we could go to a Saturday morning North Pole Pancake Breakfast and meet Mr and Mrs Clause

Someone sneezed on poor Leif and he caught a cold.

Little scamp stole the stockings and hung undies on the mantle. Clean ones of course.

T.P.  the hallway

MMMM pure maple syrup for breakfast. Delish.

Even elves love Angry Birds

That cookie exchange was amazing! Leif loved the sprinkle ones the best.

Game night in toyland

Homemade elf sized doughnuts. Baleigh actually ate them.

Seems like a hot cocoa kind of night

This was the second year we have had an Elf on the Shelf. I made the commitment that each night I would take a few minutes and make the magic of Christmas just a little more special for the kids. I missed a couple of nights but we did pretty darn good. The kids are already looking forward to when little Leif comes back this coming winter. I hope they remember some of these crazy things.
