Elf On the Shelf Ideas ~ A Fun Family Christmas Tradition, Day 12 #Elf

Day 12 ~ Our Elf climbed up on the top of our hutch and was trying to paint  a picture.  But the picture he was painting was one my husband made when he was a little boy.

Day  1 ~ Was rocking in the baby swing with a new Christmas Ornament for her

Day 2 ~ On the sewing machine sewing a Christmas stocking “Elf Sized” 

Day 3~ Trying to cut down a pineapple with a plastic knife 

Day 4 ~ Playing Dr with Lalaloopy Dolls and getting into trouble with band-aids 

Day 5 ~ Hiding in the advent calendar my 9 year old daughter made out of paper.

Day 6 ~ Our Elf was a volunteer fireman last night and was getting training from Fireman Sam and Batman.

Day 7~ Hanging out in our big “B” watching over baby Jesus… the kids put a candy cane in the manger with baby Jesus they thought he might like a treat

Day 8~ n the couch with BOTH of our xbox remotes, and a half eaten bag of mint Oreos…. Someone had a fun night The kids were not to happy that they could NOT play any games on the xbox today…in fear of touching the elf.

Day 9 ~ It took the kids while to find our Elf today… he was hiding on the shelf in a giant conch shell, it gave the kids a good giggle when they finally found him.

Day 10 ~ The kids found our Elf  hanging out on the bathroom vanity doors, they said he was in “Jail” for the day.

Day 11~ He was putting up lights in the kitchen and looks like he got a little tangled up.
