Our Christmas Elves

A few years ago, we asked Santa to send us a Christmas Elf who could stay with us and play at our house during the weeks before Christmas. Santa sent us Kennaway, one of his best elves, who cares for the baby reindeer at the North Pole. The next year, Kennaway decided to bring his sisters Besty and Penny along for the fun. By day, they are mild mannered Christmas elves. By night, silly mischief makers. The kids adore them and love waking to see what shenanigans the elves were up to while we were asleep. Here are a few pics of this year's fun.

The elves worked together to play We Wish You A Merry Christmas on Jack's French Horn! They are so musically talented!



We woke up Christmas Eve morning and the elves had been playing Candyland all night long!


One morning we found Kennaway was challenging Jack to a Bakugan duel. :D


In this picture, Lily was doing her reading homework before dinner with her favorite elf Betsy.


Penny likes helping Sofie with her artwork after school...



On Christmas morning we found the elves hanging out in the Christmas tree with stars around their necks. We had read about the star that illuminated the birthplace of Christ in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve and the elves were listening. I guess they thought they would make pretty ornaments for the tree! They will stay here with us until New Year's Eve and then they return to the North Pole. After all, they have a lot of work to do to prepare for next Christmas. But it will be fun as long as they are here.
