Mistletoe arrived and there were individual gifts, a personalized note and a gift to share. Oh, and he made cinnamon rolls. for the boys to enjoy during breakfast. Mistletoe didn't know how important grands were to Jackson and after some complaining, he eventually determined that they were the best cinnamon rolls he's ever eaten.
Mistletoe delivered a BB8 and R2D2 ornament for the boys to hang on the tree. Even he is putting on the pressure for us to get a tree. There were stickers on both that confirmed that the gifts were inspected by Elf #32. The boys feel as though they have their own personalized gift wrapper.
It was nice to see them read the note and hopefully remember what Mistletoe suggested regarding listening. The holidays can be really hard on little ones with their expectations of having fun and looking for the elf and trying to be good for Santa to come.
After the boys opened their gifts, they moved their focus on to their North Pole Communicator. Mistletoe delivered one last year and it is something that they look forward to in December. Every day, they can communicate with the North Pole. Either an elf, Santa or Mrs. Claus asks them questions about their day and how they are getting prepared for Christmas.
After getting their message from the North Pole, Connor found the basket of books for December. He was excited to open the first one and found Turkey Claus. This is a great book and the boys think its super funny. It is about how a turkey tries to save himself from getting eaten for Christmas dinner by trying to negotiate some time with Santa.
The boys posed with their ornament and the book before opening their last gift, which was a joint one. Jackson had been asking about a calendar with different things to do and apparently Mistletoe heard and delivered a Star Wars lego advent calendar.
It was a great morning welcoming back our elf and we are looking forward to all the fun that is involved with him and his hiding.
