Elf Alvin joins the fun

A week or two ago, Elf Cactus Man came to Kyra's class. He reported that his wife was pregnant and would be delivering babies soon. Mrs. Cactus Man delivered 22 baby elves. This was way more than she could care for herself, so she sent 18 of them to Kyra's classroom, one for each child. Kyra begged her teacher to let them take their elf babies home for the weekend. Her teacher was reluctant, because she needed the elves to keep an eye on the class for the next week. But then she agreed if the children promised they would bring the elves back on Monday. Kyra and her friend Grace brought Alvin and Albert home on Friday, but didn't sprinkle them with snowflakes. Instead, they kept them tucked away in their safe spots of their backpacks. But on Sunday night, Kyra decided that Alvin should have a little fun. She tucked Alvin into bed beside Edward and Kendall and sprinkled them all with magical snowflakes.

We woke in the morning to find them playing the piano, with music scattered all over the floor! I'm glad Alvin was able to join in the fun for at least one morning...
