Jolly's Arrival

This morning we had quite a surprise when we came downstairs!  Santa sent an elf to our house and he made us a special breakfast!  There was Christmas music playing and Santa even sent a few little gifts with the elf for us.  Owen named the elf, "Jolly."  The look on his face was priceless when he walked into the kitchen!

We found Jolly taking a bath in marshmallows!

 Jolly brought special treats for us for breakfast like powdered donuts and hot cocoa that we don't normally have at our house!  Thankfully Jolly brought some greek yogurt and fruit in little elf-sized dishes so we had something that was decent for us!

 Jolly brought Owen a special cup and plate

 Laying eyes on Jolly for the first time....LOVE!

 Amazing how good fruit bars are when you cut them up and eat them with toothpicks!  And bananas taste that much better with candy cane picks too!

 O's first experience with hot cocoa.....

 And he was back for more.  I think he liked loved it!

 One happy boy!

 After we finished breakfast, O wrote a letter to Santa

 Then we put out Owen's nativity set

You can tell that we are working diligently on potty training at our house and the conversation somehow always seems to make it's way to pee or poop.  Today Owen told us that baby Jesus had poop on his bottom and was stinky.  He also told Jolly the elf several times, "Tell Santa I no pee in mine pants!"  He also kept telling us that he wanted to be a good listener so Santa would be happy.  I think I like this elf on a shelf deal!!!
