Our Trip to the Forest

Friday morning we set out early to trek across miles of snow and ice.  I helped Elroy harness the reindeer to each log sled and then we were on our way to get more firewood for the village and Santa's Workshop.  Elroy drove one sled and I drove the other with some of Santa's little helpers on board.  Since they know how to work at super sonic speed, it wouldn't take long to get the job done.

Once we were deep into the forest, the elves got to work.  They sawed and chopped the wood into piles and then quickly put them onto the sled.  Once it was all loaded and the tools were packed away, we journeyed back to the Northpole with enough wood to burn throughout the year. 

When we got back to the village, we were all greeted by Elise, Erv, and Essie.  They invited us to the bakery for some peppermint tea to warm us up.  They even made lunch for us!  Afterwards, Elroy and I led the reindeer back to R. H., brushed and fed them.  The reindeer know how much they are appreciated.  We made sure to lay a new bed of straw down for each of them.  After a long day, I am sure they slept very well through the night.
