The Elves have Arrived

Emma's Kinder. teacher gave us a wonderful website and idea. (elf-magic.com). Each year her class writes a letter to Santa asking for some elves to take care of. He sends them elves and the elves watch the kids during the day and do mischievous things at night. So Emma wrote Santa a letter asking for an elf at home. He wrote her back telling her that he would send her two, a boy with blonde curly hair and a girl with brown pigtails. He then sent another letter saying they should have arrived and to name them. He told them that they could be mischevious, but they also liked to serve people (Jeff's idea). They loved to celebrate Jesus' bday and to read them stories about Him. So on Tues. our elves arrived and Emma and Ty rode around with them in their shirts, so the elves could see. Last night Ty's elf got on his toy train and Emma's got all tangled up in some ribbon and was riding our roller coaster. Tonight ,as you can see, they were servants and helped mom out by making the kids lunches for school and mother's day out. It has been so fun to see the kids react. I'm sure you'll get to see more of the elves at work!!!
