Izzy {pt 3}

I want to finish cataloging all Izzy's antics this month.

Towards the end we were really struggling with ideas. Mostly because if we put him lower MW would have touched him, a BIG elfy no no! Maybe next year MW will behave better?! :)


Fishin'

Izzy thought it to be hilarious to TP our tree.
Lo just was beside herself with the mess. She couldn't believe how "naughty" that was.

Hiding in the tree. It took her FOREVER to find him that day.

One Friday afternoon Izzy made up a batch of "snow" aka Cloud Dough.
Oh the fun and mess that was made. I got a TON of cool mom  points for this one...just sayin'

Magic "seeds" aka tic tacs. We planted them in sugar and the next morning...

cookies! I wanted them to stand up on sucker sticks, but I just couldn't get it to work. :( oh well, they thought it was cool.

On Saturday night before Christmas the kids had a sleepover at Grammy and Papa's. Izzy secretly made the trip too. Unfortunately this girl forgot to take a pic. Both kids found him right away and couldn't believe he "popped in" there!

His final antic was making a Bucky Ship from Jake and the NLP for the kids! Chad totally rocked this all on his own. I woke up in the morning just as surprised as the kids! I was BLOWN away. I think Chad may like those blocks more than MW. HA!

On Christmas Eve Izzy had to go home.
So Izzy gave each kid a "report card."

 Both kids made the nice list! YAY!

 Then Santa lifted the magic so the kids could kiss and hug Izzy goodbye.

Santa would pick Izzy up when he got to our house stop.

Izzy was a really fun tradition to do with our kids. I think we have a good balance between celebrating the reason for the season, JESUS' birth and the whimsical side. More on that later, but both of my kids even at the tender ages of nearly 2 and 4 recognized the difference and embraced both.
