Yearly Christmas Book

The elves delivered the yearly Christmas book tonight. They, of course, couldn't wait to read it so they read it without the rest of the family. The book is the Christmas Train by President Monson. I can't wait to read it with the family.

Zipline

These elves just love to climb and be up high! They strung a rope from the stairs into the family room and built themselves an actual working zipline. Taylor thought it was great fun to continue playing with them when he woke up- he kept running them up the zipline and letting them fly down it; I guess it's good that they aren't afraid of heights. Taylor told me that he wished that he could ride the zipline too.

Psuedo Vacay!

After last night's loss of magic, the elves decided that they needed a vacay! I guess a printed picture and elf sized beach towels would have to do. Makes me laugh that they used the pineapple we got from a neighbor as their palm tree. I guess you have to be creative around here when you're using your imagination.

Losing Magic

The kids have had a hard time being nice the last couple of days. Unfortunately that means that Marty and Belle have lost their magic. Hopefully, the kids can be nicer tomorrow so that the elves can play!

Fly Away With Me

Marty and Belle had a good time flying paper airplanes last night. The biggest problem was that they flew them from atop the lights in the kitchen and family room, not to mention the mess that they made. I wish they weren't such amazing climbers!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Marty and Belle found my dry erase markers and went crazy all over the kids mirror in their bathroom. They were quite creative and it must have taken quite awhile for them to finish their art project.

 I love that both elves wrote that they love each other on the mirror. They are definitely newlyweds!!

It made me laugh to see that Taylor made the naughty and nice list... I am wondering why Ryan and I made the naughty list! We better get our act together!!

They also drew a lovely picture of Taylor and a Christmas tree.

Infinity

Last night Marty and Belle decided to expand their horizons and play the new Disney Infinity game that Jessica got for her b-day. They looked like they were having fun and it was an all nighter game night.
