***First, I must warn you that this post has way too many pictures!!!
A couple of days ago, we hosted an elf Christmas party for our favorite kids! I didn't really decorate too much since the house is all ready for Christmas! I made this simple banner...a quote from one of the most famous (and my favorite) elves.
We added some snowflakes in the entryway...we were at the North Pole after all.
I kept the food simple.
We had cheese puffs...
...and donut holes.
I assume that elves love milk just as much as Santa.
Grace and I made these paper chains from wrapping paper scraps...I'm sure elves are resourceful. Right?
Jingle heard talk of an elf party, so he hung out in the open. He did not want to miss the party!
Before the elves could get to partying, they had a little more work to do in the Toy Workshop. They still had some little wooden dolls to make.
Some were very busy.
And some were very disappointed. More work! This was supposed to be a party! (How do you like the elf hats that Steph made? Super cute, huh?)
Here's a few of the wooden doll elves...I think they are rather cute! Grace made her elf look just like Jingle...red hat, red clothes, and a white scarf.
Next, we played pass the gift.
The elves sat in a circle.
They passed the gift around while some music was playing.
When the music stopped, whoever was holding it got to unwrap one layer of paper. (and, yes, he is crying as he is unwrapping a gift!)
The game was over when all the paper had been taken off and the elves received their gift...candy canes!!!
Back to work at the Toy Workshop.
The elves made some jingle bell toys.
Then we had a jingle bell parade!
We had story time after the parade.
After that, the elves headed to the bakery to make some yummy candy Christmas trees!
Some elves worked very hard on their creations.
While others just ate the decorations.
Once the trees were made, it was time to eat all the yummy elf snacks!
The party ended with what else but a snowball fight! (I just rolled up some socks and stuck them in the freezer to get cold.)
This was the boy elves favorite part! Tripp reminds me of Buddy the Elf with the snowballs all gathered up in his arm. I also love Drew's huge smile!
Somebody finally got super happy!!!
Throwing balls will always make him happy!
We had snow much fun!!!
