Week one with our Elf!


This is our first year to have an elf staying with us for the holidays and we're very excited about it! He came to us the day after Thanksgiving and had a special breakfast of elf sized pancakes with "snow" on them and bacon. Lyla thought it was pretty neat! I kept telling her we were going to have a special visitor and she was so shocked to see him sitting on the table when she came out! His name is Christopher and according to his book he's just about the same age as her!



This is when Lyla first discovered him.
Silly Christopher was laying on the top of the "blands" Monday morning!

And he must've tried to get down when we were at the store!

Found him in the fridge Tuesday morning drinking a Capri Sun!
I got really sick Tuesday afternoon and totally forgot about Christopher until late Thursday night!

He left some hot chocolate and marshmallows with a note saying to have a cocoa party before school! And had a buddy join him!

I'm really enjoying this and Lyla is at such a fun age for this! I told her that her friend Gracie has an elf at her house too and she wants to invite him to her birthday party! Do you have an elf visiting you? Do you have any fun ideas for Christopher?

Grilled Cheese with a Twist



I can't remember where I heard about this tasty lunch but it sure is good! Grilled cheese pizza!

Ingredients:
2 slices of bread for each sandwich
shredded cheese
pepperoni
butter 
marinara/pizza sauce for dipping

All you need to do is butter up the bread like you would for a grilled cheese, sprinkle some cheese on the bread, add pepperoni, sprinkle some more cheese, put top bread on and cook until cheese is melted and the outside is grilled to your liking. Heat up a little sauce for dipping and enjoy!!

Sorry for the picture quality, I snapped it real quick with my phone before devouring it!

Hope you have a great week!
