Last week, I shared our fun
that our Elf planned for us to start
the month of December.
Here's what he's been up to since December 1st...
 |
Day 2 ~ Caught in the corner of the living room making Q-tip snowflakes.
Day 3 ~ Found sitting on the shelf in my son's room.
Day 4 ~ Sneaking chocolate chips in the pantry.
Day 5 ~ Left us a message on our dry erase calendar
Day 6 ~ He switched our shower curtain to our Winter Snowflake one,
then took a shower himself.
Day 7 ~ Taking a little break for an Elf mani/pedi
in the girls' room.
Day 8 ~ He left us a cute
Candycane Garden Planting Kit.
 |
| The kids added the North Pole dirt, sprinkled on the fertilizer and planted the candy cane seeds. |
Day 9 ~ Unfortunately, he could only leave us a note and no special candy canes grew :(
Day 10 ~ Luckily the next day was better
and some M&M-filled candy canes
grew in the Candycane Garden.
Have your elves been having fun?
Make sure to visit our Elf on the Shelf Idea party for some North Pole inspiration.

So cute, Laura!! Our elf only seems to remember that he's supposed to move when mom or dad wake up in the morning. Yours is much more fun!
