Elfie is Back!

We missed our little friend and the boys were thrilled when he made his grand debut back in our home the day after Thanksgiving. He came in on an airplane and landed it in our dining room chandelier. As always, he was up to no good during the night, usually making a mess and clearly having some fun. The boys talked with him, gave him presents to take back to the North Pole and Logan even tried to match him one day. I love that they love Elfie.

 First night back he came in on a styrofoam airplane.

 All on his own, Logan came up with the idea to dress like Elfie....boxers on his head as a hat, socks for gloves, a white collar around his neck and a candy cane sash. This kid is so creative and funny. 

 Elfie left some minion arwork on our bananas.

 Elfie brought a Elfie shaped cookie cutter and I think it's pretty clear, he wanted to make cookies.

 We had a weekend trip to Idaho in December and the boys wanted to make sure that we brought Elfie along. I think Elfie also wanted to make sure he wasn't left behind because he planted himself in items that could easily be carried by the boys without being touched. This was a picture of Logan carefully taking care of Elfie at the Pocatello airport. He talked with him, checked on him regularly and made sure he had plenty of air. 

Elfie's last night with us. He dressed up in his new tuxedo to watch the boys open Christmas presents. We can't wait to see Elfie again next year!
