A Tradition of Mischief


We have many cherished memories in our family. Christmas holds most of them for us. This year we introduced a new tradition that will be one that is with us for many years to come..."The Magical Elves". My mom bought these two elves from a store. Santa delivered the elves a few weeks before Christmas to watch over the boys. Each night the kids would sprinkle the "magical" snow Santa sent on the elves. While everyone was asleep, those two crazy elves would create all kinds of trouble and then fall asleep right before we woke up. Every morning the kids would rush out of bed searching for their tiny friends and the mess they made. Some of the things they did included... toilet papering the bathroom (the whole roll!), silly stringing the bedroom, putting underwear all over the Christmas Tree, dumping laundry all over the living room,...

Daddy knew the elves had to do something big for their last night at our house (Santa picks them up tonight and takes them back to the North Pole until next year)... so check out the photo below and see the floor to ceiling tower they built (remember we have 12 ft ceilings)...it was a blast, and has given us some really fun memories our kids will cherish for a long time... cant wait to see them next year!
