We welcome the Arrival of ...

Elf Emily!!! You may remember Drake or Minnie, or Mark from years past! This year a girl arrived; skirt and all! She has been having fun and Brooke is loving it. Tonight, after visiting Santa, I heard her tell the elf that she had visited her boss tonight! Before you judge - we don't push the "The elf goes back to report to Santa every night." As you'll see we have a mischievous elf who gets in trouble too! It's actually more help in the morning. We make Brooke get dressed before she can go find her - our time out the door has improved!

Dec 1 - She arrived with new footed PJ's. (Brooke has been asking for these.)

See here there on the edge of the table. Please overlook the "art" behind her. This was Brooke and I's first attempt at Christmas art. The bow didn't work out just right.

my own personal elves in their Pj's- aren't they cute!

Dec 2 - Riding the camel at the Nativity.

Dec 3 - Hanging on the key rack/ waiting on the girls to get home.

Dec. 4 - Hanging from the "1970's MS Governors Mansion Chandelier" - Brooke came in our room at 5 am crying that she couldn't find her elf.

Dec. 5 - Emily is an artist! Brooke thought this was hilarious. The "elf" drew on a photo of the girls. A tatoo on Brooke's arm says "I heart SANTA".

Dec 6 - Snowball fight in the girls bathroom. Brooke was trying to clean it up before "I found" the mess! And telling her not to cause trouble.
