Look what I found in the Sugar Bowl!!

I went down stairs in the middle of the night and this is what I found. ELVES. They are now literally all over the place. Apparently here to stay. Clearly they have a nose for Sugar- not that they’ll find any in Our house. (That is if I beat them too it).




SUGAR BOWL!



IN THE BREADBASKET!



BOOKCASE!




FISH TANK!





POINSETTA?


HANGING FROM THE LIGHT!







OH DEAR! THE PANTRY!





Years ago my Grandpa made some elves out of wood that he hangs up every Christmas. Numbered One to Twleve, they hide all over the downstairs. Our job would be to find them all. There are only ten at our house, my son sternly reminded me. Maybe there are a couple we still haven't found?


They seem friendly enough, but they had better keep there hands off my dark chocolate Kit-Kats, which are already disappearing right and left.









'TIS THE SEASON!

    It seems these little critters must have stowed away in your luggage . . . they look suspiciously American. Well, now that they're loose in Japan, I can only imagine the havoc they'll cause all over the place. Of course, they're SO adorable I imagine they'll fit in well in Japan -- how could anyone not love them!

    Laurent! I have no idea how they got here, but their numbers seem to be growing. My kids got into the game and have hidden a few of their own. Although it is becoming difficult to tell who is really responsible for all the naughty nibbling that is going on. Certainly the elves are getting blamed for most of it-
