Elf on the Shelf: Day 4, 2012

At about 5:45 am Brandon and I heard the pitter patter of little feet running up the stairs. Kaison was up and on the hunt for Kevin. He proceeded to turn on every light in the house on in his hunt for our little Elf. After about 10 min of searching he started yelling, "I found him". Then he had to drag Brandon out of bed to go see his new hiding spot.

Looks like Kevin wanted to go for a ride today. I just love the way the kids laugh and giggle when they find our little Elf.

It is funny to see how excited baby Carter gets when they show him the Elf. He has no clue why the other kids are so excited about Kevin but he gets excited right along with them. He will laugh and point just like them.

Elf on the Shelf: Day 3, 2012

I am sure that it is no surprise that tentions between my husband and our Christmas Elf Kevin are a little high right now. I think Kevin was trying to get back on Brandon's good side with this little Star Wars prank. My husband and my son Kai love Star Wars, so I think this will help ease the mood after the close shave we had yesterday.

Kai was the first one to find Kevin today. He was so excited. Kai is our Star Wars kid. Like father like son I guess. As soon as he found him he started to laugh and came running to get Brandon. When Brandon surveyed the our Elf's reenactment of the battle of Hoth he said, "I always thought Kevin was on the Dark Side". I think I have to agree with him. Our Elf defiantly has a naughty side for sure. I just never know what will happen next!

Elf on the Shelf: Day 2, 2012

I just cant stop laughing about what our Christmas Elf Kevin did today. Not just because the trick he played was funny, but because of the completely hilarious situation it put my husband Brandon in. I will never be able to say my hubby is not willing to take one for the team, because he proved his worth at 4 am this morning.

This is what Brandon woke up to find in the mirror today. Kevin our little Christmas Elf had decided that his Christmas beard had to go. We had a little emergency at 4 am and I had to send Brandon to Walmart to get Infant Formula for the baby. He jumped right out of bed and took off to Walmart not thinking one second about the Elf or the prank he had pulled. When he got out of the Van to go into Walmart he realized he had a problem.

He could run back home and shave off the rest of his beard and totally ruin our Elves little prank, or just face the fear of being the next victim of the People of Walmart web site. So he decided to not ruin this little Christmas prank and be brave and just walk right in like he owned the place. He went to the baby food section and ran into a worker stocking shelves first. He said her eyes almost poped out of her head. Then he went down the baking isle to pick up something else I needed. There he meet four workers stocking shelves. They all looked on in amazement. Then he was so happy to see a self check was open. He thought this would keep him from having any more gazes. His luck just plain ran out. The Baby Formula would not weigh right and a worker had to come help him. She tried really hard not to bust out laughing. She was having trouble getting the checkout to work and called over another worker who gasped and tried to hold in her giggles. He finally got checked out and came home. Then he told me his tail and we both just died laughing. I am so proud of him. He would rather be completely humiliated and laughed at than spoil our little Elf and his tricks for your children. I have a keeper!

Our kids woke up to giggles at a half shaved Dad and all the pictures in the house all having half a mustache on them.

The kids loved it, and begged Brandon to go to work like that.

I think that this is one of the funniest experiences we have had with our little Elf. Every time the kids would look at their Dad they would just break into full giggle attacks. I love Brandon for being a good sport, and I love our Elf Kevin for keeping things fun around our house during Christmas.
