Elfin' Around

Well, Elf Season 2011 began early this year...much to my dismay. Elves seem to cause trouble.

Here are Abby's elves...Buddy (the white one), Harold (the black one), Margaret (the lone girl):



First sign of trouble:



Seriously?

Over the last few weeks we've had some trouble, constant note passing and I can't afford to feed these creatures anymore. They are eating us out of house & home!





Here are the letters that have been going back and forth:













Did you notice the question about a reindeer? What? There are more creatures available?



She's resorting to begging? And constant status checks?





A magical elf scavenger hunt took place:





















Coco has been welcomed into the family:



Good times.

I found my elf photos on another sd card so here's proof of the Elf Mischief:

Harold put Buddy in the freezer

Margaret causing trouble upon her arrival. Not a good way to make friends.

The end...hopefully!

Elfin Magic

Life around here has been very hectic on the elf front. It's actually exhausting!

The new elf, Harold (he's black you know), has been giving Buddy a hard time




I don't think Todd was being very nice in helping Harold

Abby has been quite diligent in keeping H & B fed
Abby read the letter below and broke out into tears worrying that the elves wouldn't be back in time for "Elf Day" at school. Real tears! Sobbing!

So, Abby did the only thing there was to do, write a letter expressing her wishes that they return in time for one of them to go to school with her.

Next up, Todd swears he saw some movement near our mail box so
Abby ran out and found this letter:

Who in the heck is Margaret?
After putting the clues together, Todd and Abby drove to Buckhead to G'ma Judy's condo
and into her massive closet to find this note and a new elf. Yes, your calculations are correct, we now have THREE elves turning our world upside down!

Upon their return, they found Harold sitting on top of the fridge in the basement
and Buddy was in the freezer.
(I have no idea where that photo ended up)

Here is some more mischief

Next up, Abby's selection method:

Harold: a self portrait

Buddy's gift rendition

Margaret's artistry

Next question?

No one likes to tell how old they are...

Luckily, the North Pole has good record keeping skills

The last few days have been quiet...thankfully. I'm not too sure that I am going to miss these little creatures. I want my pre-elf life back!!
