Brenna the Elf

We discovered something very cool this year. Did you know that you can write to Santa and ask him to let you borrow an elf for the holiday season? As long as the elf is done with all his or her chores at the workshop, Santa will let them come and stay during December. The only condition is that the elf has to go back home with Santa when he comes on Christmas Eve.












We asked Santa to send us an elf, and the kids requested a girl elf. We were so surprised one morning when we woke up to find Brenna sitting on our counter!
















She is a cute little elf, but she can get a bit mischievous at night. Most of the time she just finds some fun, and sometimes she even brings the kids presents!











One morning we woke up to her using my hot pad as a sleeping bag! She had made some cookies and left them on the counter for us.












She really likes to hang upside down. Here is a picture of her hanging from the fan. She got quite a ride when we turned it on!
















A couple nights ago she toilet papered our computer room!! I'm glad that she got stuck in the toilet paper tube, who knows what she would have done next if she could have!

The kids are having great fun getting up every morning and looking to see what Brenna will do next! The one thing they are sad about is that Brenna will have to go back home with Santa soon. Hopefully she will get her work done on time again next year so she can come back and play with us again!
