Elf on the Shelf: Day 2, 2013

Elf on the Shelf Day 2

The kids woke up to find our new girl Elf Snowflake and Kevin hanging from the chandeliers with glittery snowflakes all around them. Looks like the kids picked a fitting name for our new Elf arrival. It is so fun to see the kids excitement in the morning as they search the house to try and find out what the Elves have been doing when they were sleeping.

Elf on the Shelf Day 2

There is never a dull moment around here at Christmas time. I am sure we are all in for double helping of crazy elf fun.

Elf on the Shelf: Day 1, 2013

Well our mischievous Christmas Elf Kevin is back to help Santa spy on the kids. He decorated our Christmas tree while we were asleep. He must have decided he needed reinforcements this year. He didn't come alone! He brought a friend with him. He brought a girl Elf as well. My husband thinks that this can only mean double trouble. The kids were so excited to have Kevin back for the Holidays. Our little girl Peyton told me that it finally feels like Christmas. The kids have given our new Elf the name Snowflake. I cant remember that last time that the kids have been so excited. I am sure our house will be a lot more interesting now that the Elf is back. Brandon hid all the razors in the house just in case. I don't think he wants another Elf shave like he got last year.
