Tonight we are going to be elves.

Ever since I put the kids advent calendar together I have been impatiently waiting for this day.

Tonight we are going to ELF people!

This is something we have never done before but I thought it would be more fun then just simply delivering a plate of goodies to everyone. I found these elfed printables over at Andersruff. I mean, how RIDICULOUSLY cute are these?

So tonight once it is dark and daddy is home from work, we are going to head out. Oh I can see it now... we will all be dressed up in green and red striped clothes wearing little elf hats. The snow will be gently falling on us in the crisp cool air. We will leave our goodie bags on the doorsteps of the 5 people we choose, ring the doorbell and then hide. Once they open their door and see the goodie bag we will scream simultaneously "YOU'VE BEEN ELFED!" Oh yes, I'm sure that is exactly how it will go!

This was such a fun and cheap activity to do with the kids. The ribbons were left over from a previous Christmas and the boxes were something I bought months ago at Marshall's for $2.00. All we had to do was bake some goodies, print off the printables and fill up the bags.

We filled our boxes with peanut butter balls, brownies, cookies and some extras. Basically, whatever I had in the cabinets that worked in with my color scheme.

Instead of heading out to Walmart to purchase some bags to put our goodies in, I made some. They are just a simple bag, nothing fancy. I used fabric that I already had in my scrap drawer and honestly going to Walmart on a snowy day was the last place I wanted to be and not to mention we would have waisted a good hour getting everyone dressed into the car.

So tonight we will head out disguised as elves.

Alright, so maybe we will be dressed in our warmest clothes ever, slipping and sliding as we walk to your doorsteps hoping not too fall.

So beware...
we may be knocking at your door!
