Our elf, Dorm

We adopted Dorm in 2007.  He is a special little elf.  Every year he makes his appearance on Thanksgiving night.  He stays until Christmas Eve when he leaves our house to go back to the North Pole for a VACATION.  Between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, Dorm watches over the kids to make sure they are being NICE.  Every evening after we all have gone to bed he flies away to tell Santa how the kids were - Good or Bad!  He then flies back to our home and is in a different spot every morning.  The kids LOVE to wake up EARLY to see where and what Dorm has been up too!  As you can tell from the pictures, Dorm was very hilarious this year!  He colored pictures out of the kids' coloring books, roasted a marshmellow and made a mess out of our kitchen!  On his last night the Adults caught him drinking out of Mommy's wine glass - thank gosh the kids didn't see that!  We love our Elf!
