The Force is Strong With This One

Sam is trying to lure Ginger to the Dark Side by giving her her own light saber and telling her they have Legos, but Ginger is having none of it! (Lili is tempted though!) Stay strong, Ginger!

The Best Christmas Story

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~ Luke 2:8-14

This is what Christmas is all about. So, in the hustle and bustle of this Christmas season, do not forget who's birth we are celebrating. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, Emmanuel, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. He is THE reason.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hanging Around

Sam and Ginger just like to hang around and keep an eye on things...you just never know where you'll find them hanging.

Enjoying the Glow

Sam and Ginger found a great spot to sit. One where they could enjoy the glow of the Christmas Tree lights and where they could keep a good eye on the girls.

Get Your Jingle On!

Sam and Ginger have their snow boots on and are ready to rock this winter...now where's the snow?

Legos!!!

Sam and Gigner are at it again. Two years ago they built the Christmas Tree, last year the Snowman...wonder what they are building us this year?




Still hard at work....


It's Rudolph!

Coloring Fun

Sam and Ginger brought some great coloring pages for the girls to color. Who knew elves enjoyed coloring too!

Running Late

Sam and Ginger didn't make it back into the house before the girls got up this morning...oops!

Who Stole The Cookies...?

Ginger and Sam were checking out the goody supply...although it looks like Sam might have gotten caught in the Cookie box! Apparently travelling to and from the North Pole every night makes them quite hungry.

Pamper YourELF

Sam and Ginger are reminding us that during this busy time of the year there is always time to be pampered. Get out your candles, put on some calming music, brush on a POSH Mask and kick back and enjoy the Christmas beauty around you...take a little time here and there for yourself. They even brought enough Mud Masks for the girls to pamper themselves.



Ginger's Mask is actually playdough.
You can purchase different brand masks at Wal-Mart, Target, etc.
POSH products were purchased through April S.

Have Your ELF a Merry Little Christmas

Sam and Ginger are feeling quite comfy sitting in the Christmas tree. They even brought their own ornament to add to it. So thoughtful!


Ornament purchased at Gordman's

Going Bananas

Sam and Ginger thought it would be funny do use Sharpies to make our bananas look like Minions.


Ba-ba-ba-baaa ba-naa na-na, ba-ba-ba-baaa ba-naa na-na, ba-ba-ba-baaa ba-naa na-na, ba-naa-naaaaaaaa-oooooooooo. (Don't forget to sing that in a minion type of voice!)

Elf Vacation

A day late back to work and Sam and Ginger have already begun counting down to their "Elf Vacation"...they must have had a hard Spring-Summer-Fall!



For those interested, the sign was purchased at Gordman's at the end of 2014.

We're back!

After enjoying a nice long Spring, Summer, and Fall break from keeping an eye on the girls (a full time job, if you ask me), Sam and Ginger have finally returned from the North Pole...a day late, but better late than never, right?


Their letter reads:

Bella and Lili,

Sorry for our late return. Just as we were leaving last night, Santa needed help getting the reindeer in their stalls. After they were all rounded up, we were so tired we thought that it would be safer to wait an extra day at the North Pole.

It's so good to be back at your house! We can't wait for a fun-filled Christmas season!

Love,
Sam & Ginger

King and Queen of the Candy Mountain!

Sam and Ginger look as happy as can be sitting on top of all that candy! "We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup."
