I think all boys are born with an inherent love for Nerf Guns. Even, boy elves. 
"Secret Elf" was found daydreaming with a toy catalog this morning. I thought it looked as though he attempted to take some shots. However, my thoughts were corrected by the real boys who live here. Apparently the suction cup bullets do not go to the gun that was left out, so some Elf friends must've come and then taken their own guns with them?!?!?!
We were surprised to find another note!
We followed his instructions to read Genesis 2:8-9. "Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
Our note read "The Garden of Eden - now that sounds like the perfect travel destination. God created Eden as a home for Adam and Eve and filled it with plants and creatures for them to enjoy. In the center of the garden God planted the Tree of Life, a gift to Adam and Eve for eternity."
"From the beginning, God's plan was for Adam and Eve, and all of us, to live in paradise forever and ever. Keep that perfect place in mind as we begin on our way this season."
Last night we read "The Bears' Christmas" that was given to us by Aunt Rachel. We will continue reading a different Christmas book every night through Christmas. Beginning tomorrow, the kids and I will also be doing a Christmas activity a day until Christmas Day. I am already making plans to wear pajamas all day and be very lazy on December 26th!!
Let me know if you have any comments or tips for me. I am still figuring out blogging and trying to decipher what is interesting and how to adjust the layout of everything!
