Emerson, our Elf on the Shelf, flew back from the North Pole this year to add some fun to our holidays. Last year he brought the girls matching pjs and this year he didn't dissapoint. There are a few days that I don't have pictures of. One day he was coloring a picture but was bumped and needed to a dark quiet room with Christmas music playing to save his magic. Thank goodness it worked! When the girls had a sleep over at Grandmama & Grandpapa's house Emerson followed them and I think gave Grandpapa a scare. The best part was that Livi really got into it this year. She loved finding him each morning & if you asked her where Emerson was- she would take you right to him. Precious.
Day One: He was playing Candy Land with a couple of Barbie friends.
Day Two: He made his own sleigh using My Little Ponies as reindeers.
Day Three: He was attacked by stickers...
Day Four: He knows how much Natalie's loves Rice Krispies...
Day Five: He was swinging from the light in the play area & had Christmas lights around him.
Day Six: He made Natalie's lunch for Daddy. A nice balanced meal of hot chocolate, peanut butter, goldfish, nacho cheese, brownie mix, sprinkles & syrup.
Day Seven: He hung ribbon up to display his favorite drawings Natalie did and a few of his own. He was drawing in green pencil...We opened the fridge and he dyed our milk GREEN!
Day Eight: He tried to really hide from the girls this time.
Day Nine: He was showing all of his friends our Golden Key.
Day Ten: He played a game of scrabble with Cheez-Its.
Day Eleven: This one was cool. He hung by his feet from a toy helicopter with a note from Santa.
Day Twelve: Sitting in our wreath by our table.
Day Thirteen: He used streamers and decorated all around. We think he got caught up in it...
Day Fourteen: We planned to go to see Frozen after Breakfast with Santa and Emerson decided to build himself a snowglobe with Anna, Olaf, Kristoff & Sven inside.
Day Fifteen: He showed up at Grandmama & Grandpapa's house.
Day Sixteen: He was showing Santa & Gator Nutcracker his reindeer riding skills.
Day Seventeen: The reindeer didn't like him riding on them last night so they taped him up.
Day Eighteen: He & some of his friends were ziplining from the play area light to the Christmas tree. (OR a Circus act like Natalie thought)
Day Nineteen: He was coloring a picture for Natalie.
Day Twenty: Decorated the girls' hallway but tangled in it.
Day Twenty-One: This one got a lot of giggles. He put on a big moustahce and drew mustaches & beards on some of our pictures.
Day Twenty-Two: SUPER EMERSON! Or a Teenage mutant ninja elf (as Natalie thought).
Day Twenty-Three: Mema (My Mom) bought a bag of candy while we were out and Emerson decided to help her out with them. The bag was empty. We were all a little worried he was going to have a "Llama llama tummyache".
Day Twenty-Four: THE BIG FINALE! He was busy all night long wrapping gifts that he got a little confused and wrapped things in our house. He needs a well needed nap.
Hope this holiday season was magical in every sense of the word. Now I'm off to hibernate. This Momma (and Daddy) need a nap!
Maggie & co.
