Elfcapades Day 2

Here is the note that Ollie left outside of Isaac’s  door this morning.

Good morning Isaac! While you were sleeping I was busy playing with your toys. You have fun toys. I especially like the snack shop. I hope you enjoyed the oreo cookies I gave you yesterday for your snack shop. Thank you for the crackers and water. It reminded me of home. I got in a little trouble while you were sleeping and I need you to come look for me. 

I will give you a hint to where I am at...I watched you eat breakfast this morning it looked so good I decided to have some myself.

Before you come to find me let me continue with our story...

Mary was nervous about being a mom but she trusted in God. She was going to get married to a man named Joseph. He was a carpenter, that means he built tables and chairs out of wood. She told him about seeing the angel Gabriel and what he told her about the baby in her belly. Joseph was confused. Then he had a dream when he was sleeping one night. In his dream God told him that what Mary was saying was the truth. So Joseph trusted God that he should have Mary be his wife and be Jesus' daddy here on earth.

Isaac went downstairs first and then came back up to my room screaming, “Ollie ate the crackers and drank all of the water!”  Then we went downstairs to hunt for Ollie.  He was in the cereal box in the cabinet.  Isaac thought it was funny that he was stuck in his cereal box.  And after taking him out of the box gave him a hug and said “You are silly Ollie.”



After breakfast Isaac and Daddy played “hunt for Ollie.”  One of them would hide Ollie and the other would have to give a hint to help them find him.  I think a new tradition has begun.
