The Elves are back!

The elves have returned to the Hallmark house!!!! Every year Santa sends 2 mischievious elves to our house from the North Pole - Garland and Jingles. This has been a tradition in our house since Gabe was a baby. Each night we sprinkle them with "magic" North Pole Snowflakes, feed them crackers and water, and wait for them to come alive. This year the elves arrived after our return from Thanksgiving. The crazy creatures were hanging from our fireplace screen and scattered our Christmas books all over the floor! They always seem to make a HUGE mess wherever they go! This morning Gabe and I searched the entire house looking for them, only to discover them sitting in the boys' playroom with all of Gabe and Cole's pirates. I guess they decided to plan a pirate/soldier battle. They had them perfectly lined up and ready for war! Who knows what they will do tonight?! I just hope they don't make too much noise or too big of a mess..... After all, elves don't clean up after themselves! :)
