Our Elf friend and more!

Our Elf friend (no name yet) came to visit us for a second year in a row. He watches us throughout the day (not as creepy as it sounds), and then reports back to Santa at night to let him know if we behaved. He can be very effective. Just yesterday, I heard a 2, almost 3-year old yelling from time out, "Do not tell Santa Elf! Do not tell Santa!" He is a kind Elf. He brought Christmas coloring books and snowman pillows for us to enjoy.

We had another friend stop by and visit. Liam and Hattie made a Santa, wore reindeer hats, and added cotton (the beard) to their Santa advent calendar.


Speaking of advent calendars, we decided this year to have a couple of them. One of them is a Christmas book advent. Each Christmas book (some from the library, some of our own) was wrapped and numbered, and put on a shelf up high. Before bed, Hattie opens the book to be read that night. Our first book was, "Hare's Christmas Gift."


I plan on Christmas activities and crafts every day up until the 25th, so if my computer is cooperating, I will add the activity of the day to the blog.
Stay warm!
