We're back!

Sorry we've been gone but due to an ice storm we haven't been able to get online. Even elf magic is no match for the forces of Mother Nature! We've still been up to plenty of mischief and will catch up all in one post.

Due to the ice storm we decided to bring the girls some holiday games to play just in case they had some free time. Little did we know just how much free time they would have. Of course Jeannie and I couldn't resist playing a few games of holiday yahtzee too!

The next night we were a little tired from all our mischief and things were a little hectic around the house because of the storm so we decided to take a little winters nap in a Santa hat under the tree.

After a nice little rest the night before Jeannie and were feeling pretty creative so we decided to make some snowflakes for decorations. We left enough materials so the girls could make some the next morning too!

Jeannie and I had been watching the girls play with the toy train. They liked to give their littlest pet shop animals rides around the Christmas tree. We thought it looked like so much fun we decided to give it a try. Yup, it sure was fun!

The dry erase board downstairs was looking a little drab so we decided to jazz it up a bit!

And in honor of the snow that has arrived today we brought the girls some Webkinz snowmen. They sure a soft and cuddly!

Mischief mission # 11

Jeannie and I were looking for entertainment again last night and found the Playstation 3 and the PSP. Being elves we spend most of our time making toys and only playing with them to test them. This time we got to play Spyro and Lego Indiana Jones as long as we wanted, that was so cool!

Mischief mission # 10

After our little campfire last night Jeannie and I were feeling kinda low key. We got out the crayons and paper and made some Christmas drawings.

Mischief mission # 9

Well it has been blustery cold outside but inside is nice and cozy. To make things even cozier Jeannie and I decided to have s'mores and cocoa. We even invited some Littlest Petshop friends to join us. A tealight made the perfect fire. We found graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and mini hershey bars. Toothpicks made great sticks for roasting the marshmallows. It was so fun!

Mischief mission #8

We are still missing the snow, but it sure did get cold outside last night! After poking around the kitchen we came across the canister of flour and well it sorta looks like snow...

Jeannie accidently knocked the whole canister over in her excitement and the flour went all over the counter. It didn't stick together like snow but we were able to make snow angels!

Mischief mission #7

We've missed playing in the snow as there isn't much here yet and there is nothing like a good snowball fight. Finding some cottonballs we thought these would be a good substitute. We rounded up some webkinz and had a nice little snowball fight under the Christmas tree!
