Isabelle with Dorie
Hayden with Colleen
For those of you who don't know about the elves. The girls write a letter to Santa and ask him if they can "borrow" an elf to keep until Christmas Eve when Santa picks them up. The elves are only able to come if they're finished with all their work at the North Pole so there won't be any disappointed kids.
Every night before they go to bed the girls set out crackers and water for the elves to eat and drink and sprinkle them with snow. During the night the elves get into crazy antics. For example last year they decorated the girls' Christmas trees with underwear. This apparently was the girls' favorite as it comes up quite regularly! The elves then hide and the girls have to find them each morning.
The underwear ornaments last year
So far they haven't done anything too wild. They have been found waiting in the car; in the refrigerator drinking chocolate milk; in the cereal container; in the Christmas card rack and in the Christmas tree itself. Not sure what they'll be up to tonight but I'm sure it will be something very exciting!! With that in mind I'll be posting an elf pic a day which will let you know what Dorie and Colleen have been up to. You can also check out Hayden's blog listed on the side. She has said she will be keeping a running commentary on what the elves have been up to. That way you'll be some of the first to know if any underwear trees are found!
