Well, we caved.
Our family finally went and got our very own elf.
And I'm loving every minute of it!
Here's our first week of our first year.

{day 1} Kit Kat's Arrival
When the kids woke up, they found this gift left for them at the top of the stairs.
With it, came a letter from Santa explaining why they
were receiving an elf and how they should treat it.
They were beyond excited and,
after much deliberation, decided on the name Kit Kat.

{day 2} Snowball Fight
We awoke to find Kit Kat and the Red Power Ranger
in mid-snowball fight on the kitchen counter.

{day 3} The Chastisement
This particular morning, we awoke to find a pretty cranky Kit Kat.
He sat with his arms crossed and had brought the kids a letter from Santa himself.
Just a friendly nudge from the big guy to
start shaping up or they wouldn't be on the nice list.
Things have been better since, really.

{day 4} Potty Time
Dad especially enjoyed this, having found a candy 'poo' in the
doll house toilet that we caught Kit Kat using.
The girls washed it up really well the next day, just in case.

{day 5} Snow Angel
This was easily the biggest mess Kit Kat has left for us,
but it wasn't too bad to clean up.
Just a little flour, after all.

{day 6} Sick Day
By this time, we'd been battling the flu at our house for days
and it seems Kit Kat was feeling under the weather, too.
He just made himself cozy on the doll house bunk bed and got lots of rest.
Tatum even brought him fresh water in a Barbie cup throughout the day.

{day 7} Cinnamon Rolls
Kit Kat recovered from the flu quickly, but the rest of us didn't fare as well. 
So, he made us a little treat of North Pole Cinnamon Rolls
{honey nut cheerios and frosting} to help us get better more quickly.
The kids LOVED this.

So cute. I'm thinking next year I should just make my own (or get a cheaper elf somewhere and call it good) - it's such a cute idea! Love it!
