2010 Christmas Season!! Elfcapades!
About a month or more ago my middle son wrote Santa a letter and asked him if his Elf, Elvin could please come for his 8th birthday.
Today my sweet baby boy turned 8, and he was beyond excited to wake up and find Elvin WITH a present for him this morning!
And this picture pretty much shows how thrilled he was with the Lego Advent that Elvin brought him, he cannot wait for December 1st to hurry up and get here so that he can open the first one...
Can anyone tell me, should he open number 1 first or number 25? I can't remember how they work and their are no instructions. I thought you started on 25 so you would know how many more days left until Christmas, but then my husband thought you start on number 1? I suppose it doesn't make a HUGE difference? tho maybe it does?
Sadly after our Thanksgiving dinner tonight, the birthday boy was outside playing and I think he broke his foot kicking at ice
Looks like I will be taking him to the doctor in the morning instead of heading out for black friday LOL

we were always told you open number 1 on dec 1st and its 1 a day until xmas eve - most advent calendars in uk only have 24.
Oh NO! I hope everything is okay! At least he'll have some new lego to play with during his recuperation!
2010 Christmas Season!! Elfcapades!
Thursday night, Elvin felt pretty bad about Preston's foot, he made himself a cast out of all of Preston's legos

2010 Elf Mischief at our house Official Day 1
This morning DD(5) saw a note hanging on the fridge, she started to yell, "The Elves... The Elves.., They are Here" she spun around searching and quickly called for her brother to hurry up and come read her the note. Those silly elves had crawled in our Christmas tree!

love the calendar, what types of thing are elves putting in it? (PM me if your kids may read on here as dont want to spoil it for them.)
I've managed to keep this site a secret from them so far
Yesterday the elves brought a little package of Kissables, they are like mini hershey kisses with a hard candy coating.
Today they are sending them on a scavanger hunt, I am just finishing the clues as I only put the first one in the advent calendar which was to go find the Bible under the tree, next clue is to go to Luke 2 and read verses 1-20, next clue is the words to the song Come on and Ring Those Bells, and the kids have to go find Bells hidden around the house, after they find the bells bring them to Skeeter who has a note to open the sparkley red present under the tree (the little peoples nativity set)
Tomorrow they are getting a box of Charleston Chews Candy
4th- They are getting Candy Canes, I wrapped them with a note card and the meaning of a candy cane
5th- Christmas activity books, they came in groups of either 8 or 10 I think at walmart for $2
6th- little boxes of Christmas tatoos, they are tatoos of the elves pet animals they have at the north pole, penguins, polar bears, and huskies
7th- Marshmallow peeps friends
8th-Scavanger hunt that will end with them finding gingerbread houses to make(I always buy the kits at the end of the year, last year i picked them up for under $1 each, we never eat them anyways so I dont care if the candies are old)
9th-A wipe off table cloth to color, I picked this up on clearance a couple of years ago too
10th- Holiday colored M&M's with this nativity note card I printed off
http://mycomputerismycanvas.blogspot...printable.html
11th- plaster elf ornaments to paint
12th- Christmas pencils
13th-?
14th- Peppermint Hershey Kisses with a recipe from this awesome blog! http://mycomputerismycanvas.blogspot...printable.html
15th-?
16th-Painting activity books I picked up in the dollar bins at Michaels
17th-Sticker Gingerbread houses, not sure where I got them from, they've been in my Christmas totes for a few years
18th- A CD I burned of Christmas music (Amazon has free downloads of their veggietales Christmas CD right now)
19th-Packets of Hot Cocoa with a note to open a gift under the tree that has snowman mugs I bought at the thrift store this summer
20th-?
21st-?
22nd- Elf Ornaments I bought online that will have the kids names and year on them
23rd-?
24th-?
I still have to fill in all of the ? I want to do a movie in one, probably some mint candies, maybe some Gum, I only have 7 more days to fill in, which is alot better than I originally anticipated! I'm trying to make them go along with what I have planed for the elves to do the night before

thats really cool, may try and do something similar for next yr = gives mea yr to work on it and find bits etc.
Here's the link to the M & M printable. Please be cautious so we do not violate copyright of others materials....a photo of something you made from the idea is fine but make sure to always link to it.....that is usually the best practice

Thanks Ginger, I couldn't find the site I'd gotten it from, otherwise I would have posted the link, I will edit my post with it
2010 Elf Mischief at our house a few days behind..
I can't recall which days were which LOL
The elves sent the kids on a scavenger hunt that included reading a story from the Bible
They ate up all of the kids left over halloween candy
They took a night off because there was an emergency in the mail room at the North pole and Santa had to call all of his elves in so they wouldn't get behind with all of the letters comming in this time of year.
Last night they were sliding down our railing
And just now they went around and painted everyones toe nails red and green LOLOL, I can't believe NOBODY woke up... including my husband (who will probably not be too happy when he wakes up with colored toe nails) DS12 stirred a bit, and said what is going on, I said go back to sleep the elves are painting your toe nails LOLOLOLOLOL he must not have been awake tho because he just said oh ok and fell back asleep.
