The seeds grew. Boy, that was quick. And how exciting...cookies with Christmas trees on them. Woo-hoo. How fun. And how yummy!!

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 19

Woody left some 'seeds' to plant, but he didn't say what would grow. We planted them in sugar, so I am guessing that something sweet grows. The boys think it will take until Christmas to grow. We shall see.

Woody was hanging upside down on our countdown calendar, silly elf. It did take the boys awhile to find him.

Woody was not a great elf, he got into a little trouble...he got into the sugar and pretended to make snow angels. That darn Woody! The boys thought it was hilarious!!

Oh, Woody! I thank-you for attempting to make coffee....that means I got Starbucks instead :-) Which happened to be VERY needed this morning. Although it was kind of a mess, the boys thought it was super funny that Woody tried to make coffee. You just never know where to find Woody in the morning. Funny little Elf!

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 11

This is what Woody left on the table, at the breakfast nook this morning...Connor's Vanilla milk & Dylan's Chocolate milk...they were excited. However, Dylan had quite the freak out the Woody was staring him in the face (really about 12 inches away) while he ate his breakfast. Dylan insisted I move him and put him back in the Christmas tree. So, the sucker I am, I did....so, this is where he spent the rest of the day...

Woody left another Christmas book for us to all read. This time it was a Thomas the Train book. Dylan really enjoyed it. And the boys thought Woody was going to get in trouble since he was in the tree.

Woody left a special treat this morning. Donuts. LOL, actually, they were elf donuts. They were teeny tiny chocolate frosted donuts with sprinkles. They were gobbled up in no time. And the boys said they were tasty!

Our elf suprised the boys with Christmas pj's. They were very excited, especially since they had been asking when they would be getting their Christmas pj's, silly kids.

Well, well, looks like Woody is getting a little daring lately...the boys were excited to find him along with some Toy Story characters having a "snowball" fight on the dining room table! Atleast Woody just used marshmellows. The boys were happy to clean up the snow, by eating the marshmellows this morning!! I wonder what else he will come up with...

Looks like Woody had some fun playing with leaves INSIDE the house....silly house elf!

Woody got into the pantry...apparently he likes oreos, dried pineapple, dino oatmeal, and chocolate & vanilla milk. The boys laughed about it this morning.

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 4

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Apparently, our elf was practicing his dance moves last night! He got out the Wii and cowboy boots and was dancing along to some country music, in the boys boots. Connor thought it was hilarious.

Thankful in November, Day 29

Today I am thankful I am a Cougar fan -- and alumni, which is really no different. Even though we had a less than stellar Apple Cup performance, I am still just as much of a Coug fan.

Today I am thankful for sweet treats. Yummmmm!

Elf on the Shelf,...Woody, Day 3

Well, Woody brought another gift today...a Christmas book with a few Advent stories. We have read the first few already and so far, it is good. But Woody had gotten out a few books and made a mess and was sitting on the dining room table. The boys said, "Bad Woody!" LOL.

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, day 2

Sunday, November 27, 2011

Woody was busy last night playing on the computer, apparently he was on YouTube watching videos of Disney on Ice. He left us tickets for tonights performance. He said to have fun and take pictures. Our elf is pretty nice to us :-) The boys said he was a bad elf for playing with the computer, lol.

Thankful in November, Day 27

Today I am thankful for fun traditions. Our Elf (Elf on the Shelf), Woody is back! So excited to see what our silly Elf will be up to this season...

Thankful in November, Day 26

Saturday, November 26, 2011

Today so thankful for two (well, really 3) helpful boys who were more than willing help with the Christmas decorations. So cute. They were so excited to open those tubs. Lots more to do.

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, day 1

Well, our Elf from last year, Woody is here. Boys were very excited that he came back again. And since Woody doesn't talk, he wrote us a letter. So, we had to write him back.

I have a feeling the Elf will keep us entertained from now until Christmas. Check back for updates.

Thankful in November, Day 25

I am so incredibly thankful for so many things today. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with our amazing friends, Matt & Matina. We didn't have the typical Thanksgiving feast, instead we had king crab and a smoked ham. And of course, delicious side dishes and amazing desserts.
