What's the Christmas holiday without the crafts that go along with it. Have you ever heard of Elf on the Shelf? You can click on the link below to read more about this special tradition. Instead of buying the Elf on the Shelf doll we made our own today. This idea stems off of a craft that I've been doing in my class as a ceiling decoration. The kids loved this activity and made a boy and girl elf who will be carefully watching us this holiday season.
Isaiah working on Mr. Elf. He was concentrating so hard to cut on the lines. He does a great job with scissors.
Ava was gluing the bells on her elf's dress. She added brown hair to hers so it would look like her.

A happy Bootles. I love how she added brown hair to her elf.
There you have it...two elves on the shelf...well the bench. These two will be watching over us to see if we're all "naughty or nice."
My Three Happy's:
1) I love turning on the satellite TV and finding the traditional Christmas music station. These classics fill out house each night and the kids have grown to love them!
2) Andy got a new coffee maker and it's one of those that takes those individual mini cups and makes single cups of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cider. It's ready in 2 minutes and tastes delicious. I take the occasional tiny sip of coffee and savor the taste. That's as good as it's going to get for the next 4 months.
3) Tootsie Pop suckers...cherry flavored. For some odd reason they taste so good right now!
My Favorite Thing:
**Christmas Cottage Scentsy fragrance...love it!
