The Elf on the Shelf: Day 14

  Well today was a little bit different. Kevin actually did something nice. Well he did eat a few cupcakes from my baby shower but he also left a gift for the family.

When we went to bed we had four of the yummy Cupcakes from my shower left on a plate. When the kids got up we has two cupcakes completely gone, one with almost all the icing licked off, and one completely missing. It was not ling before we found the missing cupcake. Kevin had taken it.

He was hiding in the plant right above our Fridge. In his arms was the missing cupcake. What was different today is he left the family a gift.

As you can see he left us a Gingerbread House Kit. The kids were so excited. We made a Gingerbread house last Christmas for Family Home Evening and the kids have been asking to make one this year. So Kevin is not so bad. He must of remembered all the fun we had as a family last year with the Gingerbread House and he wanted us to do it again just like the kids. So FHE is all planed for this week. What will this Elf do next?

My Amazing Baby Shower

I have some amazing friends. Two of my friends Caitlin and Mardi gave me a baby shower tonight. It was a really neat idea. They made it a freezer meal baby shower. So each one of my friends that came brought me a freezer meal that I can just pop in the oven as soon as the baby is here. I am so excited to have some meals that will be really easy. It will be nice not to worry about cooking for a while after the baby is here. I also had one friend that brought me a gift certificate to go eat out. So Brandon and I will save that so we can go out on a date together after the baby is born. They made some amazing food and treats. They had a Chicken Salad Sandwich that was to die for. I will have to share the Recipe with you later on the blog. I want to thank all of my friends who came to the shower. You are all so amazing. I hope you know how much your friendship means to me. I also want to give a special thanks to Caitlin and Mardi for the amazing party. You both mean the world to me. Thank you so much. [gallery]

The Elf on the Shelf: Day 13

Kevin left us another mess to clean up. The kids found a pile of Christmas Kisses wrappers in the Kitchen. They knew that it had to have been Kevin. It took just a few seconds and they found that crazy little Elf.

He was hiding in our Hutch in our Kitchen right above the Candy bowl where they found all the wrappers. The kids were so excited to catch him in the act of eating our Christmas Candy. Peyton told me that he should have just asked us for candy and she would have given him some. So we now know that Kevin has a sweet tooth. I think I will be hiding all the sweets until Christmas.
