Nick the Elf

We have a sweet little elf that visits our home between Thanksgiving and Christmas. :) Clayton named him "Nick." Every morning the boys woke up anxious to find where Nick was hiding. This year, he was in some very interesting places...

Apparently, he was very upset that about our C-5 wall of family pictures. He declared himself the 6th member of our family and situated himself in a picture frame while holding a 6. Ha!


He built a snowman out of marshmallows...

He made a parade out of cars and rode on the firetruck...

He turned our milk into green "elf juice."
The boys were worried that drinking the elf juice would make them turn into elves. Wade got a good rise out of Clayton by telling him that his ears were starting to get pointed. C ran to the bathroom to make sure that Wade was kidding. Ha!
He knelt by the nativity set.
He was reading one of our favorite books - The Crippled Lamb
He spelled out "Santa Says Hi" in scrabble tiles.
And he fished for goldfish in the potty using a candy cane fishing rod.
Clayton loves the show "River Monsters" on Animal Planet. So, there was a sign above the toilet advertising the next episode of River Monsters - "Nick's Big Catch." The boys thought this day was particularly funny. ;)
He took a marshmallow bubble bath with red and green shampoo and bubble bath.
On Christmas Eve, the boys were very sad that Nick would not be there when they woke up. Luckily, Nick left them a sweet note.
See you next year, Nick!
