Day 16, 17, 18 and 19: Adventures with Rosie

I really need to keep up with my blogging... I just sat down and realized I haven't updated for a few days... and while looking through the photos of our little Rosie the Elf, I realized I forgot to take pictures on day 16... oops!!

Day 16: We found Rosie on the table with a tray of goodies that we could decorate cookies with. We made cookies and spent the afternoon frosting and decorating them. So much fun!!

Day 17: We found Rosie on the table, holding pictures of Kaylen and AJ. We just sorted out all of the school pictures to be mailed out to family and Rosie must have snuck a set for herself. :)

Day 18: Max is introduced! On the night of "day 17," our friend, Ryan (or as the kids so affectionately call him, Uncle Ryan) brought us a special gift... a boy elf!! The kids read his special book and then decided to call him Max. Rosie took him to the North Pole with her that evening so that Santa could give Max his special elf magic and return to us. The kids found Max and Rosie, cruising in a train underneath the Christmas tree.

Day 19: Max and Rosie must REALLY want it to snow. We found them this morning having a snowball fight in the living room. Rumor has it that we will be getting about 7 inches of snow tomorrow, so maybe they can play outside and stop making a mess indoors. :)
