The Adventures of Elfie/Stu

Elfie brought us some snow from the North Pole!

Elfie turned our milk green and hid in the car so he could go to the Advent services at school with us

Elfie's wild game night

Needed a bubble bath after that wild night

Elfie created a Mii on our Wii

He TP'd the tree and created a zipline!

We found him in the freezer with ice cream one morning...and on a date with Cinderella the next morning

Elfie added to our decor
