We received our elf last year as a gift from our favorite Grandma Karen. The kids named him Elfie but we never really got around to using him last year. This year, I pulled out all the stops because I knew the kids would get such a kick out of him. And, sure enough, every morning I hear them laughing and giggling about where Elfie ends up.
Day 1: December 3rd
On our first day, we found Elfie hanging from our lights in the kitchen. Savanah laughed hysterically while saying, "Elfie is so berry silly!"
Elfie also brought a letter with him. I found the letter heading on the
Elf on the Shelf website. I used the letter to remind the kids about Elfie and that he was watching them for Santa.
Day 2: December 4th
We found Elfie having a little snack on the second morning. Everyone knows that elves love to eat sweets and drink maple syrup. Elfie must have been pretty thirsty!
Day 3: December 5th
I am pretty proud of this one. Landon brought home this blow up guitar from saving up his points in speech. Elfie got a hold of it that night and was serenading the ladies. He is one smooth elf.
Day 4: December 6th
Elfie decided that our family pictures were a little boring. So he found a dry erase marker and "fixed" them himself. Thanks Elfie!
Tomorrow's Elfie is already in place. He has a message for the kids, reminding them to be good. They are having a slight problem going to bed lately. Gah!
*** Apparently I was quite awake when I scheduled this post. I chose 7pm instead of 7am.
