Elf on the Shelf

Our Elf, Jack arrived last week. He's been goofing around every night ever since! Here's some of the things he's been up to...

He arrived with the same North Pole breakfast he brought last year,
Snow covered donuts and hot chocolate with icebergs.
He also brought reindeer kisses ad Christmas socks for the kids.  

This one is hard to see, so here's a close up.
He replaced their stocking with their underwear...or diaper for Tyler.

Bryan thought this looked like a pretty good lunch.
He said he wouldn't mind eating that whole bag of sugar!

Cookies for Santa

Jack left a little note and some cookie cutters to make cookies. He even made cookie dough and left it in the fridge for us!

Nerf war

The kids found Jack on the floor in the living room this morning with his buddy Woody. Looks like they had a nerf war last night!

Here’s the picture from yesterday that I forgot to post.

A reminder

Jack left a little note for the kids this morning. They needed the reminder!

Snowmen

The kids found Jack hiding in the pantry this morning. And he had built some snowmen out of marshmallows!!

Game night

Jack made some friends last night. When we woke up this morning, he was playing candyland with Malaya’s baby doll, Bryan’s baseball gnome, Jesse’s power ranger and Woody.

Look what we found...

When we got home from church, we found Jack sitting at the table reading scriptures.

Meet Jack

One of Santa’s elves arrived at our house this morning to keep an eye on the kids for him. He brought a north pole breakfast and a book to explain to the kids what he’s here for!! For breakfast he brought snow balls and hot chocolate with ice bergs! (donut holes and big marshmallows) The kids got to name him and Bryan chose the name Jack.

If you haven’t heard of elf on the shelf before what he does is watch the kids during the day and then at night when they’re sleeping he goes back to the north pole to report to Santa. Then he’s back by the time the kids wake up and he’s in a new place and they have to find him. He could be hiding or he could be doing something silly or mischievous. I’ll post what Jack is up to every day until Christmas!
