Hiding in the tree

1st Dec I left a note with the calendars saying they'llbe back today
Today I had them in some fluffy socks which I cut, as I couldn't get a coat
Other ideas I have in mind:
Making some mini suitcases to put their clothes in to officially "move in" and the girls have to hang them on the line
Writing the girls surnames on chocolate coins with individual letters on each and they have to find the name in a coin hunt
Birthday breakfast (Otis' (dog) is on 6th) so I've got the birthday cake straws, need some mini cakes, cookies and doughnuts
Dressing the dogs in santa costumes
I'm putting the girls presents from each other under the tree so they're going to open them up slightly
Build a mini santa sleigh and reindeer to ride (bought a little kit)

Some ideas from the group so far - sorry about the XL sizes! she makes some prinables (like the twister for instance) just need resizing

This is amazing thanks so much !

Oh gosh I'm so glad I came on here before I went to bed, I almost forgot already!

I've put them in the cupboard stealing food with one of their legs poking out as a clue

I forgot to sort our elf last night. I've been up at 4am for work all week and fell asleep when the kids did My DH got in from work just after 10pm and sorted the elf. He tipped the sofa upside down and sat elf on top of it.

Day 1 - they brought the advent calendars.
Day 2 - I spelt out ‘wee pea’d’ in peas and put loose peas round their bottoms lol
Day 3 - I hid some mini chocolate Santa’s and the elves asked them to find them.
Day 4 - Hid the elves in the cereal boxes (was tired that night)
Day 5 - The elves got hold of the magnetic letters and spelt out rude words with them.

Sone great ideas in here, I need inspiration!

Me and the girls are away this weekend so I've left DH to sort the elf for when we come home. He's sat them down with a bar of chocolate that they've opened and eaten half.

Ralph our elf finally made it from the North Pole. He brought the Christmas tree with him.
The girls were so excited to see him there (well Leila was - she's been asking for him for weeks now. Nina didn't really know what's happening, but just joined in Leila's excitement ).
We then spent the morning decorating the tree whilst listening to Metallica (our weird family tradition).

 

[Bevziibubble]

Aww lovely

 

[Mum21boy1girl]

Love the idea of listening to Metallica while decorating the tree!!

I couldn’t think of anything last night, so DH put them in our leftover Chinese boxes with their bums hanging out lol
