This is NOT our Elves first Rodeo at the River Ranch....

Our little Norwegian Elf, Gunhild (my Granny's namesake), went on a few wild rides & more this week at our house. She even Coaxed our Hurley Elf (named for my Dad who loved Christmas) & our Baby Elf ....to join in on her antics. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all....
