The elves broke out the scissors last night and made some snowflakes.
Molly thought it was so cool.
She even picked out her favorite.
Mornings like this is why Elva doesn’t mind the missing hours of sleep at night.
Today, we visited a life sized gingerbread house.
The kids kept asking if they could have a taste.
Thomas also wanted to take Rudolph home.
…and Molly just wanted to stay to “watch the {imaginary} fish dance”.
It was a good day. <3
The kids LOVED this one. I even caught some on video! Fun times.

It’s been snowy and icy for days here with temperatures in the single digits, so when Elva and Elfie brought us tickets to see Disney’s Frozen, Marcus was so excited. As it turns out ALL the kids (and the parents) really enjoyed the movie treat from our elves this morning. <3
This morning, Elfie and Elva brought the kids some personalized paper and pencils to write up a letter to Santa.
They had such a blast writing and drawing and cutting out printouts of what they wanted to ask for.
Marcus, of course, needed my help with writing, but the sentiment is all his. He even traced his name on the bottom. <3
Molly wrote her entire letter this year, asked for correct spelling (such a perfectionist), and just had to add her personal touch to the letter. <3
Thomas blew me away with his letter. He didn’t want any help and wrote it 100% unassisted. I know that it’s not technically correct, but I love his spelling! It makes so much more sense than our silly english language. <3
Happy Christmas Days ahead! We have 18 days to go!!
In the wee hours of the morning, well before daybreak, Elfie and Elva gathered up all the kids stuffed toys and brought them into the living room for Christmas story time. Molly discovered them when she awoke, she immediately picked out a book and joined them. <3
Just love this time of year.
We awoke to both a snow covered yard , and a snow covered counter this morning thanks to our elves. Since it’s snowing outside, I guess the elves thought we should have some snowballs inside. Thankfully, they are the yummy kind you eat and not the icy sort that melts.
The North Pole is hiring! Elva brought us some applications for the job openings, and Elfie wants us to watch a training video. 
Think we should have some spaghetti with maple syrup for breakfast?
The elves thought the tree was a bit bare {not sure why, there isn’t a mm of space left on it}, so they started on some pipe cleaner candy canes. Molly happily helped them finish up their work.
This was one of the longest and loveliest weekends we’ve had in awhile. It kicked off on thursday with Thanksgiving and coincidentally my birthday.
Rounded out with some rock climbing in the mountains on Friday {a’la Maxfield Parrish}…
And as you saw this morning, ending in some lovely elf inspired christmas decorating this evening.
Here’s to the weekend that started all the way back in November and brought us to December!
{excuse me while I do a little elfing downstairs… more on that tomorrow.}
