Well, the magic elves have been a success! The only drawback is rather than creating one day of excitement where the kids wake up really early and rush into the living room; I think we’ve now created 25 such days in the month of December! Isabelle woke up at 5:30am yesterday to find out what her elves had gotten up to during the night. This morning was a much more ‘reasonable’ 6am… Yesterday, the girls were also given their annual Christmas dresses from grand-maman and they love them so much I think that is all they will be wearing for the rest of the month!
