Elf Business: Week 1

Holly, Jolly & Chris have returned!  They showed up with a North Pole Breakfast on December 1st to kick off the Christmas season.  Our elves only do nice, cute things and never cause trouble.  It's hard to find things that all of the kids - ages 11, 8 & 4 - are thrilled about doing so when they all get excited about the elves it is an easy yes from me.

I collect elf activities all year long and really enjoy elf activities for the month of December.

Dec 1 - North Pole Breakfast - Chrsitmas pjs, ornaments and an advent calendar to share.  Our breakfast was super simple - muffins and berries.

Dec 2 - Matching Santa socks for the whole family.  I cashed in Old Navy rewards to get some free socks.  The kids have worn them to school and worn them a ton already.

Dec 3 - Gingerbread house building contest!

It was fun to have this to look forward to all day long.

Leo joined our team.

Dec 4 - Glitter delivery!  Glitter magnet blocks for the boys and glitter nails for Olive.

Dec 5- The elves hid in the snack pantry with bags of Muddy Buddies for an after school snack.

Dec 6 - Happy St. Nick's Day!  Candy in the shoes for all the kids.

Dec 7 - Help us track down the mising candy canes!  The kids loved this one!

If you do elf on the shelf, what have your elves been up to this month??
