Day 10 - L.J. was so worried about the elf painting his nose while he slept...but instead he painted his toes GREEN! The response was "Get the water! Get it off!" LOL!!!

New Christmas Book


Mistletoe


Chocolate Syrup (Ignore the beer can, LOL!)


The Skylanders got him. (Daddy was in Charge of this)

 
December 12 - Minecraft - my kids play together like this all the time so they thought it was hilarious that the elves were trying it too :)

Tracy - you are the queen of the elf... *bow*.... I'm totally going to snag many of your ideas - my kiddo loves the silly, too!
 
Well I finally got some pics up on Facebook - thought I'd share our
adventure so far with Brien Burkey :)

I had no idea December was already here, so our elf showed up
on December 2nd lol - he came with his usual letter :)

I've always wanted to do this, but the 1st two years we had an elf -
the decorations were already up. Had a blast doing this one!

This night - I was so tired that I was completely uninspired to do anything
more than stick BB up on top of our Christmas tree lol

We got snow, so I sent my hubby to the store for some coco - always
need some coco when it's cold outside :) Decided a marshmallow
bath would be fun too.

Another tired night - so I set up a game of battleship with some buddies :)

Fun idea - but this took forever to get up lol. But the kids & my hubby
loved it so much that they're still up.

I was in love with Traci's Star Wars snow flakes that I did my own. The boys
LOVED them. Even made a mask for BB - my youngest calls him Elf Vader lol

Can't have our elf show up without doing some of the classics.
Underwear everywhere -- fave of the kids :)

The boys got an early present - so I assembled them and had BB set
up playing with some other toys.

After a disappointing loss, BB showed his support of our team!
Go Hawks! :D

Another one of the boy's favorites - TP attack :)

And finally! My son had a play last night - he was the lead (a moose that
wished he could fly like the reindeer). I made BB some antlers of his own :)

Day 14 - The elf was just hanging around while we were gone (on a candy cane filled with Skittles).

Day 15 - He was trying to fit in with our family so he thought he'd try a little hunting.

I wanted to do something like this and couldn't figure out how. This will be perfect....but my elf doesn't stand so I'll have to figure that part out.

I'm loving all the ideas. Our elf has been kind of boring this year. But my 15 yo is totally not in to it, so it's for my 11 yo and she knows it's us, but still wants to pretend.

Went out today and picked up a few things for the Elf. Found the Santa Claus is Coming to Town book for our city, so got that. Will be having the elf deliver some cookie making supplies this weekend. Think he'll deliver some Christmas socks/t-shirt this week as there's an end of semester dance at school. Will be putting up a whole bunch of those gift ribbons on the wall like Jen22. That's awesome! Will probably make a sled out of candy canes next week. Trying to save the cookie and candy ones for after break. Oh yes, we found a little Christmas saucer and mug and Elfie will leave some cookies and a note telling the kids to remember to return the favor. I LOVE THIS THREAD! Thank you ladies!
 
My printer is down, so I drew a picture to color :)

My scary looking donut snowmen lol. It was too late to redo them, and besides - they tasted good lol

Thank you Tracy for the awesome idea!! The boys loved it - especially eating the poo lol
IMG_4678.jpg


My hubby ended up in the hospital with meningitis, so I wasn't feeling very creative this
night. But I didn't wanna disappoint the boys, so I did the classic fishing one :)
IMG_4685.jpg


And hubby is still in the hospital tonight (on the mend!) so I wanted to do an easy one.
This one was fun to do lol - thank you so much for the idea Juli!

That's funny Jen...my son wouldn't eat the poo. LOL!

Day 18 - Don't taunt the elf too much or you'll learn your lesson. Last night L.J. put him in our room so he wouldn't be able to get to his room and maybe he would do something to us. Haha! Nope, he's a quick little guy who can't be stopped by distance.
