Back on this July post, I shared the set of hand-painted Christmas elves that Chris rescued from a barn occupied by a raccoon family.
Chris got all the motors working and the elves are now hard at work making toys in our living room.
The amount of labor these tiny creatures clock in is pretty astounding.
If you think about it, without the help of the elves, Santa wouldn't be nearly as jolly.
Sending you all a little Christmas "elf" magic.
I know I could use a few more elves to help me finish up the cards, shopping, wrapping and baking.
XOXO
PS. If you'd like to see the elves in action, here's a link to a youtube video that Chris shot this summer of his motorized elves.

The elves remind me of the store window displays in downtown Chicago. So cute!Josie looks adorable.
Your hubby did a great job on the sweet little elves. I loved your utube videos of the ice rink. What great memories your girls will have.
