Our Elf, Zaphod, greets us the morning after Thanksgiving, so below is a compilation of our first two weeks of elfdom...
Day 1, the night of Nov 29: Zaphod made a North Pole breakfast. He got the mini donuts and a smidgen of banana bread, but the kids got real powdered donuts and real piece of banana bread.
The night of Nov 30: it wasn't quite time for the calendar, but Zaphod went ahead
and filled it anyway and left two tasty treats on top.
The night of Dec 1: Zaphod got this cool idea for putting bows all over the kitchen
cabinets...thanks to Pinterest, I'm betting! :-)
The night of Dec. 2: He acquired some sort of robobug kit and tried to
assemble it, but then left it for the kids to try.
The night of Dec 3: Pez sleigh... and there were Pez in the advent calendar this day, too.
The night of Dec 4: Ever seen a Hexfish? Neat. Just drop them in and they swim like real fish!
For like 5 minutes.
Then they never work again.
The night of Dec 5: Time to make a Gingerbread house!
The night of Dec. 6: Bubbles!!!
The night of Dec 7: With the balloons from the Dec 6th birthday party sitting
around doing nothing, Zaphod took a ride!
The night of Dec 8: On the birthday morning, the bedroom
had been toilet-papered and outside of the bedroom:

ninja star that the kiddo had made at school the day before)
