Is this it over here?
I think this is it right here.
Oh my goodness.
That is pretty cute.
That is so cute.
We have our own little slice of a winter wonderland out here.
So we have just arrived in Lapland and we are so excited.
This morning we hopped on a plane in Helsinki and flew here to Roviamini.
Is that right?
Rovianemi.
I don't know if I'm saying that right.
But we are here and we are in a Christmas wonderland right now.
Oh my goodness.
This is the most beautiful winter magical place.
Oh my goodness.
I just I can't wait to see the inside of our cabin.
So as we were driving in it was just the most beautiful sight with snow
covering these like winter evergreen trees.
Oh my goodness.
Just absolutely gorgeous.
This is probably the most snow you've seen in a long time, isn't it?
Do you guys want to go inside?
Yeah, let's go.
Dump all your wet stuff area.
Okay.
Wow, this is so cozy.
Oh my goodness.
This is perfect.
So we're staying about a half an hour outside of Rovianemi
and I'm so glad we decided to do that.
For our first few days that's where we're staying is out here in this cabin.
Then the next our next day is going to be a little different and I'm so excited about that too.
Where's our sauna?
I think there's a sauna in here somewhere.
I think it's in the bathroom.
Oh my goodness.
This is so much nicer than it looked in the pictures.
Wow.
That's like a legit sauna.
This is so amazing.
It looks even better than we found this on Airbnb and it looks even better than the pictures and
I don't know.
We're here for three days.
I'm so excited and this is like I want to live in this house.
Brady's joke.
He turns around says look they gave us finished snacks.
I'm like oh what is it?
Dishwashing pods like of course Chloe's gonna be like oh I'm gonna sneak a treat
and now she's gonna eat the pods and we're gonna be on the news.
They did leave us these really yummy desserts here.
That we've already kind of devoured but they're so good.
Man straight away after arriving it just makes me feel like
someday we need to have a cabin in the woods
lakeside and a place that snows like this.
It's just like picture perfect.
I don't know if we're capturing it properly but super excited to be here.
It's not ready yet.
We have a private sauna.
This may be the best part about the house.
Our very own sauna.
Camera's not gonna last very long.
All right you got five minutes and then we're jumping in the snow.
It's not hot enough to like get ready to jump in the snow.
We gotta get it hotter and stay here.
Five minutes and then we're jumping in the snow.
I don't know.
I get my toes in the sea so I'm going in the snow.
Okay you ready?
Yeah let's go jump in the snow.
I gotta go, I'm gonna go.
Oh that hurts.
Your turn.
I am so snowy.
That's worse than the sea.
I loved it.
That was awesome.
Go Chloe go.
Get back inside.
Yeah!
Pretty hair.
Her hat's a little crooked.
Good morning.
There's an elf on the shelf.
Right on the shelf.
Merry Christmas Alexa and Chloe.
My friend Mac.
You know Mac.
Owen's elf on the shelf.
Told me you wanted an elf friend.
Your first job is to give me a name.
Okay so what's her name gonna be?
You can name it.
The elf said to work together to find a name.
Okay we've got it.
Yeah what's her name?
Emily the elf.
I love it.
Emily do you like your name?
I think she loves it.
She can't move because you don't want to see her magic.
Oh okay.
We have come today to Santa's Salmon Place for lunch
and this place is so cool.
It's in this like teepee kind of hut with a fire in the middle.
It's where they cook the salmon.
There's only one dish here and I'm guessing it's amazing.
So let's give it a try.
Can I just say I don't like fish.
Me neither.
But that's delicious.
It's really good.
It just absolutely falls right off.
It's cooked so perfectly.
Well that was super good.
Such a cool atmosphere.
Fantastic restaurant.
It's actually the number one rated restaurant in Rovio Nemi and I can see why.
They only cook that one dish and if you're gonna do just one dish you better do it right.
But sitting in there in that teepee style surrounded by the warm fire.
Everybody eats at the same time.
They cook everyone's food at the same time.
It's definitely a must visit.
So this whole area is just absolutely filled with magical Christmas experiences.
So we are now heading into a underground park.
This entire place is built in an old abandoned World War II bunker.
That's where all the toys come out when the Elfsters are making them.
I think you just cross the arctic circle underground.
This happens to be the only place in the entire world where you can cross the arctic circle
underground which is pretty cool.
It's a dream.
When we have a house we're gonna have to come back here and decorate it for Christmas.
That's amazing.
Oh Alexa those are so cute.
We are in elf school today.
Sixty.
That was so much fun.
Did you learn how to be an elf?
Yeah.
That was really cute.
I don't understand elfish.
That was really cool.
They actually did it in Finnish and English so they would go back and forth and everyone
could understand.
It was pretty cool.
There we go.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I'm an elf.
Decorate some gingerbread cookies.
Now I'm done.
I just wanna fall in love this Christmas.
I'm gonna make a Santa ornament.
We are making little Santa claws.
They say they're...
I think it's making your own elf.
I think that's what it is.
You can't put it on your sleigh.
Hold me so well that nobody else can do what you do.
I just wanna fall in love.
Hello Mr. Reindeer.
Where are we going?
Around the world.
We're going on a ride.
We just kind of walked by and this ride is here.
We have no idea what it is.
This is quite slow.
That's so cool.
Give the wrapping paper your ribbon and bow.
I don't need that extra stuff.
Frosty mommy.
Frosty.
Frosty the snowman.
Santa's workshop.
Oh my goodness.
Look at that.
Look at the elves working.
He's covered in paint.
Hello up there.
One of them must be for me.
That was awesome.
There was no line.
We just walked on and now there's a pretty long line of people waiting.
That was really cool.
We are on our way to see the ice princess
and we are in what appears to be a freezer.
Walking through, there's tons of ice sculptures.
Whoa.
Can I come in with you?
Yeah, but this feels like me in here.
Whoa.
Got some reindeer hides to sit on.
What?
You don't like the smell of reindeer hides?
All right.
Alexa, what are you doing?
We're having a hot chocolate tea party with a movie.
Coming up, we enjoy more of what Rovi and Emmy has to offer.

Thanks for watching.
We're just going to go for a walk.
I think he's a little hungry.
