Momma's Little Elf

Momma's little elf has been very busy. Here's a little of what he's been up to these days.

Train rides around the Winter Wonderland at the mall with his Noni (and Pop Pop, even though he's not pictured here).

Posing for Christmas card photos. And looking quite dashing in his outfit that his Noni and his Great Granny made for his Uncle Zack nearly 27 years ago.

And an elf's gotta have a goldfish snack after all that posing. Or should I say, all that running around? This little elf doesn't really believe in poses.

Meet Mickey Mouse, or as Alex calls him, "Baba." (I think that's his version of Clubhouse - as in, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.) Looking at this face, I imagine him thinking, "What? You mean there's a whole Kingdom of Baba and friends? When can we go? WHEN CAN WE GO?!"

Because this kiddo has taken to Mickey like nothing I've ever seen him take to anything before. I mean, he's sharing his milk with him for crying out loud. Mickey must join us at meal times, nap times, bed times, car rides - he goes everywhere that Alex goes. Today we even used our circle shapes to make a Mickey Mouse head. Oh, and Alex wants to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all. the. time. 

 Speaking of, here he is watching Clubhouse with his daddy. And he's rather styling, don't you think? Ha!

Another new friend - Santa. Such a good little elf, Alex is on the lookout for Santa everywhere these days.

And here's my little elf with his new apron from his Aunt Mel, Uncle Russell, Lindsey and Whitney. We got this in the mail today. Just in time because we have fudge and rice krispy treats to make next week. Thank you guys for such a fun gift - personalized with his name and everything! I hope to get some pics of him helping in the kitchen, too!

Sweetest little elf I know. When he's not busy with the things above, he's certainly busy checking out the tree below. So far, only one ornament broken. Here's hoping that's the only one before it's all said and done.
