A Month with Korina, the Elf on the Shelf

Our Elf on the Shelf, Korina (formerly known as Trinity) was with us for about 23 days this year. Here is what she was up to during her stay:
She arrived at Nana's house with her book on December 1st.
 

Here she is drawing a picture of herself or Santa, we aren't sure.

Climbing Rapunzel's hair.

Relaxing in a cotton ball bath with a sock to keep her hat dry.


Making a powdered sugar snow angel.  A cat helped her with this activity, probably Milo...

She wrote on the mirror!

Cuddling baby Jesus.

This morning we were in a hotel in Vacaville, CA.  Korina set up a game of Old Maid with most of the other toys that traveled with us, although she left out Ralph.

Dressing up as Snow White (Winters, CA).

Ralph got his revenge for being left out of the card game (Winters, CA).

Korina brought a note from Santa (Winters, CA).


A snowball fight with paper snowballs (Winters, CA)!
 
I guess this is how she came home from California, it must have been a long trip in that little car!

Traveling via sled and Zuzu's this time.

Repelling in the pantry in search of hot chocolate.

Putting together a puzzle.

She drew a moustache on Naomi and little hats on the picture with Naomi and her cousin!

Delivering candy canes for the tree.

Tea party!

Having some maple syrup for breakfast.

She opened the gift Naomi wrapped for her (a pretend sunflower) and decided to go for a ride on a horse.

She trapped Naomi, this really freaked Naomi out at first, but then she really liked it and wanted to keep it up.

Before returning to the North Pole she read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to some of the toys and then left a nice note for Naomi saying how much she had enjoyed her time at our house.
