shenanigans, silhouettes, and s'mores

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here...

and i have to say that Winter Jingles Douglas is by far one of my most favorite things this year. he's our family elf.

it's like a miniature Christmas morning every morning. on this day, he left us a snow angel.

and on this day, well, i guess he got a hold of the toilet paper...

Winter Jingles Douglas is just full of shenanigans.

and, i must note that Carson calls him "Happy." so maybe he's Happy Winter Jingles Douglas? are four names too many for an elf? i think not...it's all about the compromises here at the Douglas house.

this was my favorite morning. Happy Winter Jingles Douglas was having a tea party with Rudolph, Strawberry Shortcake, and Tink.

he left warm pj's for the littles too. and since you can't touch him, i loved that he was in a glass case....a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

emma was just amazed that our little elf had the magic to make that tea party happen. after all, there were some pretty important people in attendance. she thought about it for awhile, and then looked at me and said..."well we know Winter Jingles can fly. and, Tink has wings, so we know she can fly. so to get to the tea party, Strawberry Shortcake must have ridden on Rudolph's back, right, Mom?" that's exactly right emma. exactly right.

Winter did a bit of zip lining...

and i managed to snap miss emma's silhouette, but i was sad that bro was fast asleep for this one.
