2nd Year of Elf on the Shelf




Well, it is that time of the year again! Our little reindeer friend Toffee is back to visit for another Christmas, and it looks like he is up to his old (erm, new?) tricks again!

Since Toffee put the kids' underwear on the Christmas tree last year, it is all my daughter has been talking about this year.  She was considering leaving a little note for Toffee to find his first night hear, telling him NOT to put her underwear on the tree again, OR ELSE.  Not sure what her or else meant, but I told her that it wasn't a very good idea to threaten one of Santa's elves.  She decided she'd treat him with kindness instead, she was going to make him some Elf donuts, buuuut she forgot. Uh oh.

So here is what Toffee has been up to the first two nights he has been here.

Dec. 1st, 2013

The first day Toffee parachuted in and got hung up in the ceiling fan, he had a little note for the kids, who haven't been listening so well!

Day 2 Toffee got a little..."cheeky" with the printer/scanner/copier machine.  He left butt prints all over the house!



Butt print on the microwave


Butt print on the fridge.


Butt print on the living room mirror, complete with hoof prints...



Butt print on the book shelf.


Butt print on my daughter's dresser, dangerously close to her undie drawer.


Butt print on the kids' bathroom door.

We shall see what day 3 brings tomorrow! So far my daughter is super excited about our Elf.  My sons just keep asking "WHY?"  They just don't get why our Elf does all these silly things.

We finally got our Christmas tree up on the first, I don't put my tree up before December first, it's just the way we are.  We like to do one holiday at a time.



Merry Christmas from our family, and our elf Toffee!
