Elf on the Shelf: 4-10

On day 4 we found Taxi HeyHey sitting on our Santa Claus tree topper while Snowflake had taken all of their toys and few articles of clothing and decorated the tree with it all. She even decided to take a bath in their doll house bath tub.

 

On day 5 we found them attempting to have a 'date night'. Taxi HeyHey was making a mess trying to start the movie while Snowflake was nice and comfortable eating chips in Johnathon's chair...that's a big NO-NO!

They were a little more well behaved on day 6. Taxi HeyHey made himself at home in Johnathon's stocking while Snowflake sat down on my ipod dock (which looks like it needs to be cleaned!).

On day 7 we found Snowflake sitting nicely on a shelf in the dining room while Taxi HeyHey was caught trying to climb a Christmas sign in the living room.

Day 8 was fun! While Taxi HeyHey was calmly sitting on the dining room curtain rod, Snowflake was hanging upside down from the ceiling fan. This day was extra special because the girls SWORE up and down that they could see Snowflake moving because the cord would dangle and she would start to sway. It was such a treat to see the looks on their faces.

Taxi HeyHey chose to behave again on day 9 and we found him sitting on top of our shoe cabinet. Snowflake on the other hand was dangling from our 'kissing ball' (a ball of mistletoe). 

 

Snowflake must have a thing for hanging upside down, because that is how we found her on Sunday. She was hanging from our chain lock. Taxi HeyHey was in the partying mood and decided to have a little fun with the birthday banner than we hung for Johnathon.

A very special

 

HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY

 

to my best friend, amazing husband and the best daddy that I know.

 

I love you so much, Johnny, and I am so thankful to have you in my life. You would move mountains for this family and I can't even express how much that means to me. You always put us first and do an amazing job supporting us. You have stood behind me and allowed me to not only stay home with our girls, but homeschool them as well. You are so encouraging about the next chapter in our lives and it's means the world to me that we are on the same page about our family, our children and our marriage. Thank you for everything that you do.

 

xoxo

Elf on the Shelf: 1-3

I thought it would be nice to show you all a little recap of what our elves have been up to. Every Monday I will post their different locations of the past week.

 

On day 1 we found that our scout elf, Taxi HeyHey, had set up a nice little breakfast for everyone with a note telling us that we had a new scout elf who was hiding around the house. She was hiding in the Christmas tree and Allison named her Snowflake.

Day 2 we found our ornery elves having a tea party with all of the girls' stuffed animals. Alyssa and Allison especially loved this one and couldn't figure out how the elves snuck the stuffed animals out of their room without waking them up. Sneaky little elves.

On day 3 we found them both on the curtain rod in the living room. It seems as though our trusty Taxi HeyHey is teaching Miss Snowflake a few naughty tricks. 

The girls are having a fabulous time with the elves and there is nothing better than their little giggles as they run down the stairs to find where they are hiding each morning.

Elf Breakfast: 2012

The girls woke up yesterday to a fabulous little treat from their scout elf, Taxi HeyHey.

 

He comes every year from the North Pole to help Santa keep an eye on the girls.

 

This year he decided to treat the girls with a sweet little breakfast and a note.

The girls were very much impressed and kept talking about how hard he must have worked to decorate the table since he is so small. That was a fun conversation to listen to. Their little minds and ways of thinking are so funny.

 

The night before, the girls got together and wrote a letter to Santa asking for a second scout elf, maybe a girl this time. Well, look who got his letter and listened...

That is our new scout elf Snowflake. At first it was Pixie Snowflake. Then it was Snowflake Shimmer. Now it's just a simple Snowflake.

 

Allison named her.

 

I like it.

Believe it or not, this is Madelynn smiling and posing for the picture.

 

*sigh*

Has your scout elf arrived from the North Pole yet?
