Good Bye Elfie!

Wouldn't you know Elfie would make his final day with us a memorable one?!  What a surprise it was when Kennedy woke up and was TrApPeD in her room!!!!

 

And Kennedy was not too thrilled about it either.   She wasn't really sure she was allowed to break through the barrier.  Unfortunately Quinn had been sick with the flu all night long so Mommy and Daddy were very tired and not feeling so hot either.  We all just kind of sat there for a bit.  Kennedy peeking at us through the streamers and the rest of us in the hall, half asleep.  By the way, do you see Elfie in the bottom corner with a gift for her?!

 

Finally Kennedy got the courage to run through her door!  I wish I had had the energy to get a photo of that!  Elfie left the girls 2 nice notes.  One about how well behaved they had been all year and how he would miss this so so so much until he returns next Christmas.  The other was a reward for their good behavior - they were allowed to hold Elfie ALL DAY!!!!  Do you think Quinn enjoyed that??

We already miss our elf friend to pieces! But we know he is working hard with Santa in the North Pole, preparing for Christmas 2012!!!  Thanks for following Elfie's adventures with us this season!

Mr. Elfie Strikes Again

Today Elfie left ELF DONTUS for the girls to eat!

Today Elfie hid in a cup in the cupboard and left a note!!!

On this day Elfie hung out with the snowman Mom made last year!!

Hmmm...we aren't so sure what Elfie was doing today.  Possibly bungee jumping??

Note to self...do not leave markers out where Elfie can reach!!!!

Day 15

You will NOT believe this, but Elfie didn't move today!  We were a bit worried that someone had touched him without our knowledge and lost his magic.  But the next day we breathed a huge sigh of relief when he found a new place!

Day 16

Elfie knew that he had made us so worried!  So he stayed by Kennedy's bed. He left her a sweet note and a little present!!

North Pole Breakfast 2011

Hooray!

Elfie has come to visit for the season!!!

This year, he served the girls a North Pole Breakfast!!!  YUM!!

When Kennedy came downstairs, this is what was waiting for her!

Each girl had a personalized note from Elfie himself!  Kennedy said, "Mom - it looks like he got into your scrapbook supplies.  Is that ok?!"

And check out the menu!  Snowman donuts and marshmallows - DELICIOUS!!!!

Sadly, Elfie was called back to the North Pole before we woke up.  But this note explained it and Kennedy said, "Oh, that's totally fine!"  She had fun trying to figure out what Elfie might be helping the new Elf to learn!

Here is her note to Elfie!!

Kennedy also got gifts!  A fun plate, countdown placemat, ornament with her photo in it, a funky cup and.......

...books!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think Quinn enjoyed the donuts???  This was her first taste of donuts EVER and she inhaled them!!!

Each girl also got a fun container with more donuts!!!!

And here is Kennedy reading the notes from Elfie!
