The Davies elves of 2016 - (the second half!)

And so another stay for our elves is over. All done for this year. It came around so quickly and we've just enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with family. I'm chilling right now with a coffee and a lie in, so thought I'd get this second part documented before all the festive magic ends for the year...

Here are the documented pics for the shenanigans our Twinkle, Toddy and Miss Thistle got up to from day 13 to day 24.

Thanks for looking everyone - I wish you a Merry Christmas and a brilliant New Year!

The Davies elves of 2016 - (we're half way!)

THEY'RE BACK!

Oh how we missed these mischievous and fun little things! Seriously. My kids would be very upset if their elves couldn't make it. Our first Elf arrived in 2013. She's called Twinkle. Twinkle is the Head Letter collector Elf and my middle child has taken to her and called her her own. Then in December 2014 Twinkle got sick and had to recover for a few days. This was when Toddy arrived to cover for her. He is now a Reindeer Reconnaissance Operative. And a bit cheeky. So obviously my youngest little one - cheeky being his middle name - has claimed Toddy as 'his elf'.

In 2015 my youngest started school. And that was the year that Miss Thistle joined us in December to make our Elf Duo a Trio! She's a Teacher Elf and does take it upon herself to remind my kids of the importance of good behaviour and attitude, kindness and helpfulness - I like Miss Thistle!

So we plodded along this year wondering as December grew closer what our elves would have up their sleeves for us all. There was panic in the last week of November. The children received an urgent message from the elves. Toddy was missing a Reindeer! Our elves told us that the RT that the reindeer was wearing (Reindeer Tracker) had been logged at our home. The elves left us some tracker images and asked the kids to help find him. His name is Flash.

And would you believe the kids found him behind the laundry basket in my bedroom?! They followed the instructions that the elves had left so that Toddy could come that night and take Flash back to the North Pole... Little did we know that Flash would then be allowed to come along with Twinkle, Toddy and Miss Thistle to spend December with us.

And now we are half way through their stay. I have managed each day to capture their antics before they disappear back to the North Pole each evening! So here you go - day 1 to day 12 of the Elf craziness in the Davies household. Day 13 to day 24 will follow after Christmas. Have wonderful festive season and all the best for 2017. Thanks so much for reading.

Day 1 - Flash arrived with Twinkle, Toddy and Miss Thistle!

Day 2 - locked out of our living room. What are the elves up to?

Day 2 - ahhhh, look! They decorated for us.

Day 3 - Daddy's birthday. The elves always bring something wonderful for him to try out... One year was penguin poop, then another was polar bear wee (all delicacies, we were assured) Grinch milk this year! YUM.
