The fun continues!

When we last left Erlo he had left the kids a message to clean the playroom.

 I'm happy to say they had it cleaned up in 20 minutes.  

After they cleaned up, later we found that he changed his message.

No, Thank You Erlo!

We found him hanging around in Evan's room.

They had a hard time finding him just peeking thru this day.

I think he was trying to steal some of Ellie's $ out of her bank.

Hiding in the ivy

On this day we walked into Evan's bathroom and found this

and Him!

Playing with the girls' new pony cards

You would think they would have found him easily, but even Daddy had a hard time finding him.  

An easy place to watch all the action that goes on in the house.  

That sneaky elf hid the stocking and put our undies in their place.

He still didn't bring back the stockings, but hung our aprons up instead.  

He was on my gingerbread nativity, since he wanted us to decorate gingerbread houses that day.  

We found the Christmas tree decorated with paper airplanes 

and he was hanging out on Dusty from the new Planes movie he left for us.  

On Christmas Eve he was playing in the playroom again.  

A game of Chutes and Ladders were going on.

and a puppet show.  

He was hanging out watching in the castle.  

It was another fun Christmas time with Erlo.  

Merry Christmas 2013

Christmas Cheer

Last Sunday the kids at church put on a Christmas program.  The pre-k kids rang the bells, sang a few songs, signed Silent Night and said a Bible verse.  We were so proud of them.  

Ringing the bells - Joy to the World

Doing sign language - Silent Night

 All of the kids

 Our three little Stars

 Here is one of the songs during practice.

Evan is Buddy the Elf - "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing Loud for all to hear"

 For their hard work we took them that afternoon to see Disney Jr. live.  They had two of their favorites.  Sophia & Jake

He's Back

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we had a "welcome back" Erlo breakfast.  He told us to make a breakfast pizza for Evan & Charlotte & special apple oatmeal for Ellie. 

 He was hanging out on my new tree in the basement.  

 They enjoyed breakfast.  

Later we got in our Christmas pjs and decorated my 50's themed tree.

The next day he was celebrating the Reason for the Season.  

This was the first time he has been down at their level.  They know they are not suppose to touch him, but I guess it was too much for Ellie.  She started crying and I asked her if she touched him.  She was very upset.  He stayed there for another night, but left some emergency glitter to help him get his magic back to fly.  

Tinker Bell might have helped with some pixie dust too!

Hitching a ride with some friends.  

Hiding in a cookie jar.  They had a hard time finding him this day.  

 Taking a nap in the pantry.  

 Hanging out with the family picture.  

 On Monday he was chilling in the freezer, but he left a hint so they could find him.  

He left us some movie tickets to see Frozen!

 

 It was a fun treat - thanks Erlo

Climbing a tree

 He snuck in Charlotte room and was an Elf on the Shelf!

Erlo has heard mommy and daddy complain about the playroom being so messy.  He left them a message. 

Let's hope they do it or they might end up on the naughty list!
