Sure do love those Christmas cookies.....sugar!

Just not scattered about on my counter. At least these little elves are smart. They pulled out the cookbook, blew the dust off of it and began their masterpiece. What's funny is that they didn't know that I was still awake, they were caught in the act and quickly turned back into their plushie counterparts. I fear the worst for the morning findings. Carry on little elves....I am really off to bed now!

the Fields......

Helpers not so helpful....

Last night I wrapped a few gifts that I had gotten from the Black Friday adventure. I must not have secured my supplies quite well. This morning when I got up and stumbled through the house I almost tripped over wrapping paper rolls.
Imagine my surprise when I found the elves with scissors, tape and paper. They had cut snowflakes out of paper and they where scattered all around. Jingles was tangled in the scotch tape and the roll was empty.

Miss Holiday had opened a package of gift tags and had tagged herself all over.

These helpers made a huge mess but we love them anyway. Hopefully tonight they will be settled in with us and we won't have such chaos!

the Fields....

We got visitors!

Last night our friend Hopie wrote a letter, for her elf Ollie, to give to Santa. It went something like this:



Dear Ollie,

Addison and Kadence want elves, boy or girl, it doesn't matter and elves are really cool so I wanted to see if you could talk to Santa about getting them each an elf. I have already talked to their mom about this and she thinks it's a wonderful idea. She wants them to have their own so when they carry them places they can each play and take their own elf. PLZ WRITE BACK!

Love Ya Hopie!



What a precious girl and a sweetheart! We love you Hopie!



So today we went to our last Tgiving meal for this year and when we got back GUESS WHO CAME? Two little girl elves that will visit us til Santa comes with his sleigh to take them home! They even brought decorated trees, from Santa's shop, for the girls to put in their rooms.



We read their story and named them. Addison's elf is Jingles and Kadence's elf is Miss Holiday. This evening we went over to Mammie and Paw Paw's and Santa had sent an elf to watch over them too. His name is Christopher. So Santa has all kinds of little spies around our home. While we were Mammie and Paw Paw's Addison realized that she had left Jingles at home all by herself and Kady had remembered to bring Miss Holiday along. So of course when we got home Jingles had pulled balls off of the tree, gotten snowmen out of their place and messed up Addison's clothes. I guess Jingles was trying to teach Addison a lesson about leaving her home alone. I can't wait to see what these two mischievous elves get into tonight?
