sneak the elf came to visit us on december 1st. having an elf is a new thing for our family but i was sure molly and sophie would love it, and they do! especially molly. she loves magic and make believe and just eats it all up. the girl believes in fairies and loves the magic of things so i knew the elf would be a hit. on saturday morning, the girls found him hanging from the fireplace door with a note. next to him was a box containing the book that gave us all the instructions about him. we chose the name sneak because he'll be sneaking around our house. the girls spent lots of time by him on saturday reading him books, wondering if he was going to change positions, and how he was going to get the note off (which reads, "hi molly and sophie! please do not touch me! open the present i brought and lets have some fun!)
day 2 he was a little tricky to find. it wasn't until they were taking a bath sunday morning that they spotted him.
sophie found him on day 3 munching on some gingerbread cookies. molly was hoping he'd eat one of the cookies we'd made the night before. he made a mess of crumbs which the girls thought was hilarious.
day 4 was playtime as sneak decided to have tea with molly and sophie's babies.
today, day 5 was probably their least favorite because he covered up some ornaments when tp-ing the christmas tree. sophie was very bothered she couldn't see her monkey and both girls were anxious for the toilet paper to come off. while they still thought it was silly, they didn't like their ornaments covered.
and there he sits, still perched in the toilet paper roll at the top of the tree waiting to see where i'll place him tonight. i still don't know....perhaps he'll read some christmas books.
