Oliver serves the same treats each year.....stacks of white powdered donuts with a candy cane, Hershey "kisses from Santa", mini marshmallow "snowballs from the North Pole" and chocolate donut Rudolphs! This year he threw a little vanilla yogurt with Christmas sprinkles in!
They didn't sleep in these jammies as I wanted the breakfast to be a surprise, and this would have surely tipped Leah off! Instead, they were laying on the backs of their chairs for them to change into before breakfast!
Oliver kept his gifts simple this year! New Christmas sheets that we'll use for years to come!
This was the beginning of a fun month with Oliver!
He isn't quite as adventurous as some other elves I know, but one morning he did leave them a little note out of marshmallows! (This was only because Leah came home from school one afternoon telling us how COOL Alexis' elf was because he spelled her name with marshmallows!) She could NOT WAIT to go to school on this morning to tell her friends what her elf did! Any guesses who ate their name as fast as humanly possible?
This was on Oliver's last morning with us! He left a note in the sink (that Lane STILL won't let us wash out) letting the kids know that they were all finally on the nice list! He had also painted their noses red during the night, but most of it must have rubbed off while they slept! He didn't want to paint them too dark because it was a busy Christmas Eve with lots of pictures that would be best without red noses!
Most mornings though, we simply found him hiding in a new spot! I don't have any pictures, but Oliver and Barbie got VERY close! They were found one morning KISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE! Can you imagine? After that they were found in the Barbie movie theater watching a movie and going for a ride in the American Girl slug bug!
