They've come to play~

Well, it's official...the Elves have arrived!  And, with them comes mischief and whimsy and tons of fun!!

Yes, it's a three ring circus on the kitchen chandelier!

Counting down the days, keeping watch on the bar, and guarding the cabinet (what's in there anyhow?)

Keeping a watchful eye on the "list"?  Looks more like naptime to me!

As you can see, these little guys add quite a bit of holiday charm (and trouble) to our kitchen.  Funny thing happened last year...my niece, then 8 came for Christmas day and wanted to know why the elves got to stay at Aunt Lauren's house.  You see, her elf has to go back to the North Pole in time for Christmas Eve!  I told her, "Emma, as you can see...Aunt Lauren's Elves aren't the behaving kind!"
