So Much Santa

Elf on a Shelf!

Christmas magic, courtesy of our resident elves, Emer and Sera

They work outside too--we added more later

Birthday at Benihana!

Lots of love to the father of this fam!

Happy birthday, Aaron!

So loved by this bunch

Squeezing in a day at the races

These two get their Ascot on

Elfin' around at our ward Christmas party

This isn't the last you'll see of Santa with his elf

We're just lucky he didn't try to steal her back!

Pre-performance Ruby's

Newsboy and Big Apple Gangser

Costumes for NYC (Sera was an apple-seller, Emerson was . . . well I think you can figure it out)

Full cast of Annie

Friends who came to see the show

Post-performance Ruby's . . .

 . . . on the Pier

Peppermint milkshakes . . .

. . . for everyone!

Date with Emerson to the symphony

Date with Aaron to the 1920s

Christmas Eve at Sea World!

Stealin' a few with her main man

There's no such thing as too many photos in this outfit, is there?

Sesame Street friends!

Did Cora recognize them? You bet she did!

These elves tried really hard to steal their little coworker back

They nearly succeeded

But not quite!

Everybody got to help with gift delivery

A fact which Santa clearly appreciated

Then on to an evening service at Calvary Lutheran, followed by a lovely party

By the time they opened their Christmas jammies at about midnight, everyone was pretty tired

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

And awakening to . . . The Force!
