Elves love chocolate

Cottie & Lilly got into my stash of Ghiradelli chocolate squares.  Big trouble for these two.  Nobody messes with Mama's dark chocolate!

Reading buddies

Cottie & Lilly thought it would be fun to read one of our Christmas books together.  They have good taste.  It's a new Pete the Cat book we got this year.  Pete the Cat Saves Christmas.  The kids love the book and now it looks like C&L do too.  I love having two elves.  It's just too darn cute.

PJs from Cottie & Lilly

Cottie & Lilly were so thoughtful and left new Santa pajamas for the kids just in time for PJ day at school.  I love the leggings that look like candy cane stripes.  The kids were beyond excited when they woke up to find the elves had left a present for them.  

 I guess I should say the girls were thrilled.  It's morning so this photo really captures Ryder's excitement.

Ryan is really woking her I love Santa pose.

Not sure what Reese & Ryder are doing in this photo but for some odd reason I love it.

Cottie & Lilly's first shenanigans

 Our little elves are usually pretty good but they started off with a bang this year.  They found some mischief in the Alpha Bits and decided to blame Reese & Ryan.  We thought it was hilarious.  Ryan saw it and immediately decided to eat her name so the evidence was gone.  I was rolling on the floor laughing.
