This was our first year with ELSIE.
Elsie was named by Ellie last Christmas. She is a girl. We made her a skirt, flower & added her "e" to her outfit. She felt much girlier after the make over!
I forgot to take more pictures of her appearances each morning, but here are a few of our favorites.
Above: Making a snow angel (mess) & proudly writing her name in it.
Below: Ellie's note to Elsie, along with a snack.
This note is being slipped in on this post, since it is Christmas. I am not sure if it was for Lance & I or Santa.
I love it. Ellie is 7 this year. Obviously, she does a lot of service!
These 4, aka: the QTME gang; Quincy, Taryn, Molly, Ellie are always together. One night at a sleep over at our house, the girls tried to STAY UP ALL NIGHT. They wanted to watch the elf move. Once we googled that idea- we found out the elf will not move if kids aren't sleeping- just like Santa.
After mom (me) getting upset & turning off every light & movie down/off & after 1 am, somehow these girls finally fell asleep.....
Elsie had something to say about that:
Christmas Eve she wrote Ellie a nicer note to say she's had a good time, but is really tired from going back & forth so much. She needed to rest for a whole 11 months. She also told Ellie that she saw Santa eat some cookies! She watched us enjoy our Christmas by our tree, and then disappeared that night.
She has brought such excitement every day of December. We will miss Elsie until next year.
