We have raised at least one child in this house to only appreciate Thanksgiving because it means that Ellie, our Elf on the Shelf, is coming back. A week or two ago Matney started talking about how much she missed Ellie and how glad she was that it was almost Thanksgiving because that meant that Ellie was about to be back. Thanksgiving, Elf, what??? Good thing Matney has such a great memory or Ellie might have been late this year.
We woke up this morning to find a fun North Pole Breakfast and Ellie the Elf!
Ellie seems very excited to see the girls again but reminded them that she has a job to do while she is here….and they need to remember to always be kind and well mannered.
Matney was very excited and wanted her picture taken with Ellie, who was hanging out on the table in a cup.
Halle Kate didn’t care so much about anything except the candy cane. She LOVES peppermint anything.
Now that we have had some sugar breakfast we’re all hanging out in our jammies for the morning. Perfect way to start the day!
*If you are not familiar with the Elf on the Shelf there is a book and a small elf doll– basically, from Thanksgiving to Christmas your elf shows up from the North Pole each morning and you have to find him/her when you wake up. You can’t touch them or they will lose their magic. They hang out watching you each day and then fly back and give a report to Santa each night. The first year we had Ellie she was pretty dull and just hung out on different bookshelves, etc. She seems to get more creative and into more mischief each year so we can’t wait to see what stunts she pulls this year. Matney’s favorite from last year was the marshmallow fight between Ellie and several other toys from the playroom!
