Ginger Day 19

Payton made some snowflakes.  She did a great job and Ginger thought it was fantastic.  She hung them up and decided that she and the Wookie would hang out in them.

Ginger Day 18

Ginger made a count down to Christmas for the kids.  The kids thought it was great.  She was hanging up over the oven.

Ginger: Day 17

Ginger was messy last night.  She ate some cheerios and got them all over the kitchen table.  She also wanted to know what the kids favourite cereal is.

Ginger Day 16

Last night we tried to build our gingerbread house.  It failed miserable, but the kids had fun decorating it.

This is how it turned out.  The gingerbread literally fell apart, it cracked.  The icing didn't work, it wouldn't stick the pieces together.  We have some years that it works, some years that it doesn't.

So Ginger left a little message for the kids. She thought the house was great and easier to eat like this.

Ginger day 15

Today Ginger was being silly.  The kids thought it was funny.  She made herself a gingerbread house.  I think she wants the kids to make their own gingerbread house.

Ginger 13 & 14

Ginger and her side kick TMNT are watching over the house as crime fighters while we sleep.

 Ginger was naughty again on the 14th.  She stole my ipod and took #Elfies with her friends.

Ginger Day 12

Today Super Ginger came back!  She was flying around the house last night and landed on the tv before the kids woke up.

Ginger Day 11 - Naughty Elf

Today Ginger took all my candy canes.  I was saving them to share with the kids but she got into them and let them eat as many as they wanted.

Ginger Day 10

Ginger had a little sleepover with her friends.  She got into the crackers and shared them.

Wordless Wednesday

Ginger Day 9

Today was game day.  Ginger got her new friend Donatello and played X's & O's.  The only problem is they used marshmallows and a sharpie!

Payton left a little snack for Ginger.  We got this little cups from church when we did communion.  The kids thought they were cute little cups and wanted to keep them.  So now this one is Ginger's.  Payton left the cup full of milk and a cookie.  So Ginger had a little snack while she had game night with Donatello.

Ginger Day 8

We decorated our tree this weekend.  Payton hounded me until we did it.  So the kids hauled everything up the stairs and away we went.  They did a great job.  Some things can not be placed out, just because we have no room and I don't want the dogs to knock things over.

Ginger Day 6 & Day 7

Day 6 Ginger missed some of Santas animals.  She doesn't have enough time when she reports to Santa to spot and visit.  So she had a little visit with one of our animals.  She got one of the ponies and got some snacks.

 Day 7 Ginger reminded the kids to practice for the up coming church concert.  The have lines they need to study and some songs they need to sing.  Hopefully this year they sing the songs.  Last year I think they just lip sang.

Payton thought Ginger would enjoy a mini cinnamon bun and put it down for her to eat.

Ginger: Day 5

Today Ginger grabbed some friends and watched a movie.  They had so much fun they stayed there all day.

Ginger: Day 4

Today Ginger was enjoying the heat from the lamp.  After a full day of being on the water yesterday, a day of rest and relaxation was in order.

Ginger: Day 3

Today Ginger and her friend Donatello went on a little boat ride.  They decided last night to go fishing in the sink for some jelly beans.  It's always fun to bring a friend along with you.

On a side note we read the Elf on the Shelf book last night and took a picture to commemorate the occasion
 Here is the "good" one

Here is a funny one.  Gotta love these kids

 

Ginger: Day 2

Today Ginger was a naughty elf.  She decided to treat herself to some of the kids halloween candy. 
 Nathan has come in to wake me up every morning and relays to me what Ginger has done.

Ginger: Day 1 Our Elf on the Shelf

It's that time of year again.  The Elf on the Shelf is back.  For the next 24 days your news feeds are going to be full of different Elf on the shelf ideas.  Like most I have been searching for creative ideas on Pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/tenillewilson/christmas/) is my pinterest page with some great ideas.

The one thing I really like about Ginger our Elf is how creative the kids get.  They made her an apartment in one of our shelves.  She has it pretty good in there.

 Our suitcase the kids painted last year, it was still packed with last years clothes and goodies

 Yes that is a picture of the kids Nathan is in there beside Clayton and on Faith's lap.  He's kind of slipping that's why you can't see him well. 

Some of the pictures the girls drew for Ginger.

 Here is Ginger herself.  Payton made an origami piano.  Ginger thought she would try it out this morning.  The seat didn't quite fit her long legs but it was still great.

Wonder what Ginger is going to get up to tomorrow.  Stay tuned!
