A North Pole Breakfast.

By -
Have you heard about the Elf on the Shelf yet? Seems a lot of folks are getting into it. We've named our Elf, Aurora and this morning she surprised the girls with a letter from Santa and a North Pole Breakfast.

Autumn woke up first and when she found Aurora in the kitchen, she started laughing and said, "Our elf brought me donuts."

I read her the letter from Santa, then she began to eat.

Aurora was keeping her eyes on things.

Anything sweeter than dunking a "snowflake" into your ho, ho, hot chocolate?

Photobucket
I think not!

Such a sweet girl.

After some time, Emelia woke up and she was just as delighted to see what Aurora had done.

Emelia has been extremely helpful this year with regard to our project Declutter the Jordan's lives.

She has been breaking one ornament after another. I guess Autumn didn't break so many because when we lived in Alaska, we had carpet all over the house. These hardwood floors are unforgiving for the clumsy. You drop something and you can almost guarantee it will shatter! Anyway, I've tried putting the breakable stuff at the top of the tree, Emelia has taken care of the lower half. I even placed my jingle bells on the bottom as my MWS or "Midget Warning System."

I sure do love this time of year.

I wonder what Aurora has in mind for tomorrow?

The Jordan's.

I love the whole "Elf on a Shelf" idea but you seem to make it all more fun! The "MWS" is one I am going to use too. Our youngest grandson is two and both he and our new cats will be curious about the tree :)

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
