we received our first elf (an Elf-Magic elf) last year on Dec. 6. My mom ordered her for DD7. Her name is Hannah and these are her adventures with our family.
Dec 3 2009 -- Hannah arrived. She went with us to pick out our Christmas tree and that night she stacked up a whole bunch of Solo cups in the kitchen. She fell into one of them and got stuck.
Dec 4 -- Hannah went to school with dd and also rode the bus to the YMCA. Whe wrote DD a note on her whiteboard in her room.
Dec 5 - Hannah got the kids Christmas trees out of the attic and decorated them and placed one in each room. While putting the tree up in DS2 room, she got tangled up in the lights and was hanging by her feet. She had all the other stuffed animals helping her.
Dec 6 -- Hannah went to visit my grandparents in another town with us. She dyed the water in the toilets red or green and printed lables for DD
Dec 7 -- Went with the kids to see Santa at the mall. that night, Hannah, 2 barbies and the reindog got in the convertible (Barbies's) and they set up a "drive in" and watched movies, ate popcorn and drank Dt Pepsi. they made a mess with the DVDs and popcorn
Dec 8 -- Hannah was nice and cleaned out the fish bowl for DD, but then she made a fishing pole out of a pencil, string and paper clip and tried to catch the Betta fish. She left a letter and a pencil for Dd.
Dec 9 --Hannah found another elf that looked like he could be her dad up in the attic and they stacked up the couch cushions from the den, in my Durango and they went to McDonalds. They left the radio turned up loud, their change and their trash in my truck!
Dec 10 -- Hannah and the reindog (a stuffed dog dressed like a reindeer) had a snowball fight on the kitchen table using mini marshmallows and solo cups as a fort.
Dec 11 -- hannah went to work with me today and went all over the building taking pictures while we were having our Christmas breakfast. During the night she got to missing home and hid in our freezer under the ice packs
Dec 12 -- She dumped out our 12 days of Christmas gifts and hid in the middle of them.
Dec 13 -- Hannah climbed a ladder up to the Christmas tree and took off all ornaments with my dd name on them and lined them up in front of the TV.
Dec 14 -- Hannah hung our stockings up for us and took a picture of herself and made a snowglobe for us to keep.
Dec 15 -- Hannah and the reindog made a slide out of my ironing board and landed in a big blanket on the floor
Dec 16 -- Hannah wrapped all DD's school books in Christmas paper and she found them in her backpack when she got to school. She left a mess in the den where she wrapped the books.
Dec 17 -- Stacked up all the presents under the tree in a tall stack and was sitting on top of them.
Dec 18 -- Left pencils for dd and since dd was sleeping with me that night to watch a movie as a treat, Hannah climbed in bed with us to snuggle
Dec 19 -- DD was sick and Hannah stayed with her all night.
Dec 20 -- Hannah rested tonight because she was tired from sitting with DD the whole night before
Dec 21 -- Hannah knocked over the Christmas tree in DD's room and knocked the ornaments off.
Dec 22 -- Hannah and the reindog made snowangels in fake snow on the kitchen counter
Dec 23 -- Unwrapped one of DS's big presents and crawled in the bag and fell asleep
Dec 24 -- Rolled DD's room in toilet tissue.
Dec 25 Hannah was supposed to return to the North Pole with Santa, but DD was so upset that she wouldn't even look at her presents. Luckily, we found Hannah sitting over the side in a chair and she had broght her little sister Lexi to stay with DD for the year. Hannah was allowed to stay until New Year's Eve.
Throughout the year, Hannah and Mackenzie send emails back and forth. I set up an account for each of them on aol and have all other email addresses blocked since DD is only 8. The elves have visited several times throughout the year,
February -- the elves were stowed away in DHs truck and we found them on the way to Disney World. They are in the family photos there.
March -- Came for St Patrick's day. they brought a box of Lucky Charms cereal and were hiding in the box after they spilled the cereal on the counter. They had new clothes made out of green felt.
April -- came and visited the Easter bunny at the mall with us and were hiding in the Easter baskets. Came for a slumber party at a freinds house. The little girl desperatlay wants an elf this Christmas, but her mom doesn't appear interested. I enjoy it with my kids, i wish her mom would do the same for her.
April -- went with us to spend the weekend with my brother and his family. Elves were hiding in suitcases.
May -- Hannah came for Mother's Day and brought an elf for me. Her name is Abby.
June -- Elves came to take care of DD when she was sick. They also came for Fathers' Day
July -- Lexi spent the night with DD at my mom's house and they pierced Lexi's ear. We went to Santa's Land in Cherokee NC and the elves were sitting there with Santa when my kids got there to have there pictures taken. Santa said they had been doing some work for him. Hannah and Abby had their ears pierced berfore they went back to the North Pole.
Hopefully for August, they'll visit for DS's birthday on Aug 12. They may arrive for the first day of school on Aug 16 and I hope they'll visit for my bday on Aug 26. This year I am planning on getting a reindeer from the Elf-Magic website and mom has an elf waiting for DS. We'll have lots of fun with that many elves this year! i have a notebook I keep with lots of ideas. I want to make costumes for Halloween and holiday clothes for other occasions.
Can't wait for Holiday 2010!!
