Elf on the Shelf

*Warning:  If you are not a fan of "Elf on the Shelf", then this post isn't for you. With that said, elf bashing is not welcome here. And yes, I have been told a million times that I am going to scar my children for life by participating in the CREEPY elf tradition. Thank you for your concern, I will take my chances. ;) *

Yay! It's Elf on the Shelf time!

I know, I know. You either love the elves or you hate them. Well, we love them!  How could I not when they bring so much joy, suspense and giggles to our crazy household? With that said, the elves are welcome at our house....at least until my kids are no longer having fun with them.  (When that happens, maybe I will have them hide the elves for me! ) So far we've had a good four year run with them!

See what some of our elves have been up to!

Happy hiding....and finding!

Merry (Belated) Christmas!

Hope you had a great Christmas!

We did things a little different this year. Instead of having a traditional Christmas tree we opted for a tropical one. A palm tree which we will keep up all year:


Not the best picture but you get the idea!

We also brought home "Elf on the Shelf". Oh my goodness! Why didn't we do this before?!? It was SO.MUCH.FUN. And with the help of Pinterest and my friend Michele (the QUEEN of Elf trickery) our Elf, Ed brought us a lot of excitement, anticipation and laughter!

Here are some of the places we found Ed:

On the shelf above the doorway.....

Hanging from the ceiling fan.....

Cruising around in Barbie's car......

Piggy back ride on (or choking out?) Santa......

Helping himself to some juice......

Writing on artwork!

In the refrigerator!

Opening a present! (Boy did he get an earful for doing that!)

Toilet papered the tree!

Busted the girls!

Took a ride on "Chomper".....

On Christmas morning he was found hanging out with the princesses!  














We are already looking forward to next year to see Ed and his mischievous self! I think we should have an elf all year long! A Valentine's elf, Easter elf, 4th of July elf.....  :)
