We celebrated another season of our beloved elf coming to visit with both expected and unexpected antics. Here are some of her escapades:
Annual North Pole Breakfast on December 1st, announcing her arrival:
Rumikub is a game that the kids have been playing lately so she set up her own game with one of Jimmy's rubber lizards.
Christmas Catherine really loves to draw and doodle, so one night, she set to work drawing and coloring the Grinch's hands with a special message. She later left it behind -- fully colored -- and Jimmy hung it up on his bedroom door.
Right before a big snowstorm, she left behind a message on the door to let the kids know that the snow was coming.
********************
"Please do not feed the dinosaurs." And she did ... marshmallows!
********************
It took the kids a LONG time to find Christmas Catherine on her make-shift swing because she was hanging behind the basement door.
She made a pair of make-shift stilts with two left-over rolls of wrapping paper and Sophia's precious UGG slippers.
This was a funny one that all of us laughed about; maybe not Steve though. Ha!
Jack has been lifting weights in the basements so Christmas Catherine set up her own little weight-lifting section on his weight bench.
********************
A rousing game of tic-tac-toe using marshmallows. Clearly she found the partial bag that was in the pantry.
Christmas Tree goodies for good kids!
A laughable prank with my computer mouse.
Another prank with a can of corn and some pre-popped corn.
It seems that she helped herself to one of our apples during the night!
A well-designed sledding hill down our main staircase.
She left behind some Hershey Kisses, but not before disguising herself as one!
********************
A candy cane hunt!
Ooops! The boys couldn't use their bathroom all day long!
She hung some light-up balloons in the basement above the pool table. Note that during the holiday season, I often turn the pool table area into my own personal 'wrapping station.'
********************
A special hot cocoa station!
On her final night, while waiting for Santa to pick her up, she used M&Ms to special out her departure message.
