the elf diaries - continued

before heading back to the north pole
elfred brought MANY smiles
and
already has the boys looking forward to next year

he repelled from the 2nd floor using our socks



he packed ben's lunch for his field trip

he made a snowman
in the freezer!

he made the boys have to work
to watch some morning tv;)

 

he took a bubble bath
with marshmallows

he joined our nativity scene
and took baby Jesus for a ride

he had a little fun with santa

he wrapped the presents
AND himself

and then brought donuts to send the boys off
on their Christmas adventures

 

we'll miss you elfred!!

merry christmas

from our house
to yours

being merry

we spent the REAL Christmas day at my mom's house

 

as always

she did a great job of playing santa

and making sure everybody had exactly what they wanted

we spent the entire day
hanging out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and enjoying all of our presents

 

 

with the pogo sticks
being the favorites
BY FAR

thanks for a fun christmas, mom!
