More Christopher Happenings

The Christmas season has passed.  All the decorations have been taken down and stored away for the year. But before we can shut the door on the season and call it a wrap, we need to document the latest and the last happenings of Christopher, our dear, sweet elf.  In his last days with us he really was busy.  Check it out...

Tea Party

Christopher had a tea party with Santa and Frosty.  They sipped on tea and ate "elf cookies" that Sullivan and Quinn made with Auntie Mer.

Strung up in Lights

Christopher was busy stringing lights around our tree in the living room.  He got a little carried away because he ended up tangled in lights.

Hanging from the Lights

The night after Christopher got strung up in lights, he tried to escape.  Unfortunately he got stuck and nearly fell from the string of lights. 

Fishing

Apparently Christopher is a good fisherman.  He easily caught a giant fish from our frog tank.  Funny enough that before Christopher arrived, the only thing in that tank was one teeny, tiny frog.  Christopher really does have magic. 

Acting as Santa

The day after the girls visited Santa and sat on his lap, Christopher showed up dressed like him.  He sported a white beard and had one of Sullivan's little animals sitting on his lap.  He had a LONG line of visitors waiting to sit on his lap!

Santa Badges

Christopher gathered all those Santa Badges that the girls made back in September.  They have been hanging on our walls for over three months, so it was time that they were put to good use.  Christopher decided to pay tribute to Santa Claus by spelling out "SC" on our wall. 

A Farewell Send-off

Quinn commented several times this holiday season that she loved how Christopher colored a picture of himself for her last year and put it in her room.  Christopher must have been listening because on the night he had to go back to the North Pole he left the girls a great surprise.  He decorated all the doors on the bottom level of the house, including the girls' rooms (5 doors in all) in coloring pictures of himself. 

That morning, Quinn woke up at 4 a.m. and noticed the pictures on the doors.  She excitedly woke her sister up and then proceed to wake Ryan and I up to show us! An hour later, at 5 a.m., Quinn came up again and wanted to know if she could get up for the day.  She was excited to start coloring.  After a difinitive "no" from Ryan and I, she tried again at 6:30 a.m.  This time, Ryan and I settled for a little peaceful sleep and agreed that she and Sullivan could get up.  By the time we woke up slightly before 7:00 a.m., the girls had already cleared three doors.  Luckily I was able to capture a picture before it was all demolished!!  

I think that this was a hit for Miss Quinn and Miss Sullivan!  What do you think?!  

Sadly, Christopher has reported back to the North Pole where he is probably resting hard.  He will most likely start planning next year's shenanigans really soon! We can all hardly wait!  We already miss him.
