It is so important to me that my boys remember the reason for the season, so Dustin left them a little note each day letting them know what he was doing and reminding them why we were celebrating.
My tip to anyone else helping Santa's elves this year, is to plan ahead! I would not have been able to do fun stuff with Dustin if I hadn't made a plan. I typed out notes for each day and printed and cut them all on day 1. I also bought everything I needed in one trip so that I could pull it out on the day I needed it instead of making many trips.
The first day Dustin came to visit us, he brought a Christmas devotional with Lego and chocolate advent calendars.
Dustin was seen...
playing with tools...
taking a shower...
fixing himself a snack...
trapped in a Lego house...
making sugar angels...
getting into dry erase mischief...
taking a marshmallow bath...
doing a little Goldfish cracker fishing...
bowling with candy...
trying to look like Uncle Si...
getting a tan by the fire...
sneaking a candy snack...
playing in mom's jewelry box...
and tied up by naughty toys.
Here's to hoping Dustin made it home safely to the North Pole! Can't wait to see him again next year.
