We have had so much fun with our family elf! Elf on the Shelf is a fun tradition we started this year. "Buddy", our elf, was sent to us from the North Pole, along with a fun story and instruction guide. Buddy watches over the kids during the day and reports back to Santa every night. The kids are not allowed to touch Buddy because if they do, his Christmas magic disappears. Buddy can be a naughty elf! We got Buddy on December 1st. So far, he has thrown the boys underwear all over the Christmas tree, played in the "snow" (flour) all over our kitchen counter. He drove through it with Connor's remote control car and made tire tracks all over the kitchen. Not to mention, he made a marshmallow snowman to complete the scene. He was nice one night, he scattered Christmas candy all over my living room. The kids were very excited about that! Connor got to eat a candy cane for breakfast! Finally, Buddy pee'd and poo'd in our downstairs toilet.....I didn't know elf pee was Christmas green and elf poo looks an awful lot like raisins?? Hmmmm. Buddy had toilet paper stuck to his butt so I KNOW it was him!! He hides around the house in a different spot every night so the kids wake up every morning very excited to find out what sort of pranks Buddy pulled the night before and they love to find where he's been hiding. This is only our 4th night with Buddy so I'm sure I will have more fun stories to share!!
His latest tricks- Snow angels in sugar, a snowball fight with cotton balls against Buzz, Potato Head, 2 transformers, Tinkerbell and Ariel, a winter wonderland (He toilet papered our loft), ate a mini meal that consisted of a tiny piece of pizza, a baby carrot, cookie crisp cereal, a thimble of milk with a tiny straw and an elf-sized napkin. Last night he left each of the kids a pouch full of chocolate coins. I will update more as the days go on!
