Elf on the Shelf.

This is the first year the Elf/ Elves have visited our house! And I'll tell you what... our girls loko for those elves the VERY first thing every morning!!


Sometimes Ellie finds them first, and naturally starts SCREAMING for us all to come in and see where she's found them!


This particular morning, Luke and Lola were in the pantry.


We think they were trying to get in our cereal.


It nearly KILLS Ellie to not get to touch them!


She gets as close to touching them as she possibly can without actually making contact!








And then there was that morning when they were playing around in our stockings.


Can you say, "BUSTED"!?


Yep, Luke and Lola, you done been CAUGHT!


Oh, and then there was that morning when they were found sliding down our bannister.


Luke was hanging onto Lola and they'd apparently been playing some CRAZY stuff the night before.


I'm pretty sure Gabs found her this morning.


And would you believe they tried to get coffee?! Yep!
Lola had even dumped Splenda all over Luke. Those crazy nuts!




And then one day, when mama got up late, and daddy went first to the kitchen, would you believe they were in the ice chest?!




Since then, we've found them in a few more peculiar places!! Our first year with the Elves has been really fun! Having baby girls makes all the "magic" of Christmas even more special and enchanting!!

The elves have never visited our house, but I've heard so many fun things about them.
Mo, I just have to say, you're mantle is absolutely gorgeous!

Love Elf on the shelf. I have several friends who have the magic elf at their home and I love hearing all the places the Elves end up.
