Our elves, Q.E. & Lucy, had a lot of fun this December! I didn't take their picture everyday because I didn't want to take their photo before the kids got to see them. I kept a record though of what they did during the first 24 days of the month.
2023:
Ornaments (12.01.23). The elves & Sam the reindeer arrived with an ornament for each kid and a note to all.
Sleepover, so on top of bookshelf (12.02.23) The kids had a sleepover at their grandparents' house, so the elves hung out by the Christmas cactus.
Gingerbread party (12.03.23) The elves welcomed the kids back home from their sleepover with a hand-written invitation to have a gingerbread party. They supplied gingerbread cookies and some cocoa to be enjoyed in Christmas mugs! (Later on this day, the kids super disobeyed so the elves disappeared for a while as a warning and left a new note when they returned about a half hour later. The note was a reminder to be on good behavior.)
Inside mugs by backpacks (12.04.23)
Barbie clothes & nativity palm tree (12.05) Q.E. and Lucy borrowed some Barbie & Ken clothes from Avery's collection, and they procured the palm tree from the toy nativity so they could have a beach day!
Minion Bananas (12.06.23) On this day, they drew minions and Gru on some bananas with a Sharpie!
Hiding in pie safe w note saying 'find' (12.07) On this morning, a note was rolled up and placed on the coffee table. The kids unrolled it to reveal a self-portrait of the elves with a note to find them. The kids then had to search for where the elves might've been hiding. They were sneakily in the pie safe which has screens on the upper portion of its doors.
In fridge (12.08)
In Nativity set (12.09)
In Christmas tree (12.10)
Campfire (12.11)
Brown-e's (12.12) On this day the elves left a note near the stove saying they made brownies. In reality, they cut up brown paper into capital and lowercase "e" shapes. Brown-e's.
Put disco balls on top of little trees (12.13)
Riding in the wooden reindeer (12.14)
Near windowsill tree in dining room. (12.15)
Magic ice cream for lunch note (12.16) On this day, the elves wrote a note in magic ink that only kids could read and it said that they sprinkled magic dust on me, so if the kids asked if they could have ice cream for lunch, I'd say yes! This was on a Saturday so it was easy for them to have ice cream for lunch on that day.
In barbie camper (12.17)
Rockstar elf (12.18) Q.E. dressed as a rockstar and Lucy observed.
In the stockings (12.19)
Hiding in bottle brush trees (12.20)
Astronaut and telescope (12.21). I wish I had taken a picture on this day because it was really cute. Q.E. dressed in a tin foil suit-- he was an astronaut. And Lucy held a telescope (toilet paper roll with cling wrap over one of the open ends, and wrapped in tin foil, with toothpicks to create a tripod).
In Christmas jars & bowls (12.22)
On the backpack nook (12.23)
Toilet papered the tree (12.24)
Here's a few of the photos I took this month.
The kids all loved finding them each day & they took turns getting to have Sam the reindeer with them for sleepovers!
Until Next Time,
Much Love, Reba
