We may be a "Disney Family", but every so often you'll find us doing some non-Disney things together. So we've decided to share those with all of you in a series we're calling "Family Fun Fridays". Each Friday, we'll highlight some of the great family activities we did, Disney or "Other", and perhaps share some ideas we've found.
We spent the Thanksgiving weekend away with family, and we returned home feeling a bit under the gun to get into the Christmas spirit, given how late Turkey Day was this year.
On Sunday, we went to pick out our Christmas Tree.
On Monday night, we decorated our tree as well as the interior of the house.
And we started getting to work on the outside decorations, which usually takes some time...
Lisa got crafty, making this Mickey shaped wreath.
This week also marked the return of "Little Elf", our Elf-On-The-Shelf.

And he wasted no time making things interesting around here...
He made us a "welcome back" breakfast...

| Elf Pancakes with Sweet Toppings! |
Then we set up his apartment, and he got settled in and threw a tea party!
We bought these items, and gave him some that night. Little Elf spent the next day in bed with a tummy ache. Good thing Doc McStuffins was here to take care of him.
- Marshallows
- Chocolate
- Candy
- Syrup
Yesterday, he left out some M&Ms with a note telling us to bury them in some "Magic Sand"... this morning, we found these growing out of that sand:
Today, Little Elf is having a dance party with some Disney friends. He "borrowed" my phone to stream some Christmas music, but I had to take it back. I showed him how he could use my iPod to do the same thing.
The holidays are in full swing now!
Check back for more updates about what our Little Elf is up to.
