December 24th

Pixie brought us breakfast from the North Pole and also laid out the Jammie's I got the kids. It was our last morning with her. This year was a blast! See you next year, Pixie. Safe travels.

December 23rd

Apparently our elf, Pixie, thought it would be funny to hang our underpants on the Christmas tree. Caitlyn actually woke up in the night and heard Pixie rummaging through her drawers! She was so excited to share this with us. Only one more day until little miss Pixie returns to the North Pole.

December 22nd

Oh boy... Our elf is getting naughty. The kids woke up to find the elf had graffitied their bathroom with words like Fa La la la la and Elves Rock. I had to wake up early to be at church to help decorate the Christmas trees and while I was there the kids had woke up found the elf and somehow convinced Ashley to open up one of his gifts that we had wrapped the night before. I cannot believe he let them convince him. I came home and Caitlyn told me all about it. Pretty hilarious!

December 21st

The elf must've been pretty tired last night after her travels to the North Pole. Probably lots of last minute preparations for the big day. Looks as though she gathered a few things from around the house that I had brought home from work from local vendors. Thank you local vendors for sponsoring tonight's visit from our elf

December 20th

The elf brought a few small holiday arts and crafts for the kids and chocolates for Babcia. Love her.

December 19th

Looks like the elf planned a sleepover.

December 18th

Woke up this morning to find our elf fishing. Looks like she caught one. We also got to spend some time with my nephews, Brayden and Kellen today. We watched the Elf on the Shelf movie on tv. It was so magical.

December 17th

Pixie must be real tight with Beth's and Tiffany's elves cause I saw they spelled out messages to their kids too. Those elves are sneaky!

December 16th

Enough with her generosity. Pixie decided to eat most of the candy from the kids advent calendars. Ashton wasn't very happy to find this. Caitlyn told him she would share what she had left.

December 15th

Pixie was extra generous this weekend. She brought both the kids new winter jackets and gloves. The temperatures are getting low and Gram, Pap, and Auntie took Cait and Ashton to Enchanted Village with lights. They had a blast.

December 14th

Pixie must've known Friday is movie night at our house. She brought us a new elf movie to watch.... And she made her own popcorn.

December 13th

Pixie must be getting a little home sick cause she spent the night in the freezer making snowmen. Caitlyn looked high and low for Pixie. Thank goodness she thought to leave a few snowballs right outside the freezer so she could be found.

December 12th

It took the kids a while to find her upstairs making photo copies of herself. Caitlyn took the copies to her kindergarten class to show her friends.

December 11th

She was caught red handed in the cookie jar. Good thing my mom made 60 dozen this year for us to decorate. So there's gotta be some leftover after Pixie ate ours.

December 10th

Oh boy. Our elf was a little naughty. She drew Santa hats on one of our favorite family photos.

December 9th

Pixie had a wardrobe change on the 8th for our annual sweater party. It was hilarious because Caitlyn watches the elf constantly and her eyes were looking the other way for just one second and when she looked back Pixie had changed. Caitlyn wouldn't stop laughing out of pure excitement. She said that Pixie was able to change so fast because of her magic .

The next morning, Pixie was found in the tree.

December 8th

The kids found her in our nativity scene.

December 7th

Our elf flies to the North Pole every night to report back to Santa whether or not Caitlyn and Ashton have been naughty or nice. She must have gotten back late and decided to quickly fly on the chandelier.

December 6th

Loved this idea from the Newgard's elf who recently move to Hawaii and was dreaming of snow. Maybe our elves FaceTimed and came up with this idea.

December 5th

Pixie was found having tea with Barbie. I wish I would've thought to record the kids reactions to these. Today's was priceless. Caitlyn wouldn't stop talking about how awesome our elf was.

December 4th

Clearly Pixie was a little chilly from her extra evening up North, so she relaxed in a warm bubble bath of mini marshmallows. The kids especially loved finding her because she left a trail of mini marshmallows from the bathroom to each of their rooms.

December 3rd

The kids were a leaning towards the naughty list so Pixie stayed up at the North Pole and left them this note.
It read:

Caitlyn and Ashton-

I’m writing to say

Santa’s keeping me up North

for a whole extra day.

I had to tell Santa

You were both being bad.

The news that I shared

Made him real sad.

I am still watching you

In the car and at school

The word will get out if you break a rule.

Please remember,

so I can come back tomorrow:

There’s only one rule

That you have to follow.

Please do not touch me.

My magic might go,

And Santa won’t hear all I’ve seen or know.

Please be extra good

and say a few prayers

So I can come back in the morning

when you come down the stairs.

Love,

Pixie

December 2nd

Pixie was found reading some Christmas books.

December 1, 2012

This elf was sent to us from the North Pole. The kids named her Pixie.
