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.
