Eli

So this year we had an elf named Eli join our family for the season.  The idea here was to promote good behavior, cuz Eli was always watching - and reporting back to Santa at nights.  Fail. In fact, Epic Fail.  I am pretty sure they got far worse with Eli in the house! In fact, Eli decided to go back to the north pole for about a week or so cuz they were so naughty.  (I tell you - Kyndi is the ring leader in this naughty-ness)

Anyways, he did eventually come back, and they were better behaved. 

Eli sometimes brought a treat back from the north pole - other times a note.  And many times he could be found doing crazy things the next morning...

(Making 'snow angels' in the sugar)

And as his final hoorah - he left this note Christmas morning... and this mess on all the faces in the pictures on my family room...
