Thanksgiving Surprise

The kids had a little surprise on Thanksgiving before dessert.  This year we had an Elf pay us a visit.  He brought the Christmas pajamas that they were to put on before the book was read and the explanation of who he was. 

The kids loved the pj's and ran upstairs to change almost in record time and were back down to hear the story.  Alyssa named him Giggles, which has slowly turned into Mr. Giggles.

He has been up to all kinds of shenanigans and I will post all of those after he heads back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve.

Alyssa and Knox both loved the pj's.  She got Hello Kitty and Knox got Spider Man.  The Elf did a great job in picking out exactly what they would like.   At first Knox wasn't too into it but it has slowly changed and I think he likes it when Mr. Giggles does something that he gets into "trouble" for because he finds it so dang funny.  Alyssa is hilarious about it and at times I think questions it but for the most part goes along with it. 

I do have to say as much as I liked the idea of him arriving on Thanksgiving to kick off the next Holiday, I should have thought on how many days I would be having to do this!   Mr. Giggles even got to travel with us which the kids couldn't believe when he showed up!   It's been fun though and watching the expressions of the kids has been all worth it!
