Trucker Kids: Our Elf on the Shelf

The Christmas season has been very busy.  One of the highlights for the kids is having Thomas Elf (our elf on the shelf) back to visit.  Here is what he has been up to:

Day 1:

Day 2: Thomas was a very smart elf!  To help keep the kids busy while the lights and garland where put on the big tree, Thomas brought a little tree.  They loved decorating it and it helped keep the stress level down for Mommy and Daddy.

Day 3:  In the excitement of Thomas returning Princess ended up touching him.  So Magic Elf Dust to the rescue.  Thomas also managed to pull together the supplies for an advent wreath craft for the start of advent.

 
Day 4:  Making his Christmas list.

Day 5:  He decorated the refrigerator to look like a snowman and brought out the Christmas magnets the kids were given last year for them to play with.

Day 6:  Thomas brought a toy elf for the kids to cuddle with.  Santa also sent a certificate of health since Princess was a little nervous that Thomas was still under the weather.

Day 7:  Thomas locked himself out.  At least he remembered to wear his scarf!

Day 8: Thomas decided to spend the night in Princess' doll house.  He wanted to straighten it up some more but Princess started to wake up.

Day 9:  He brought a Candy Cane Garden Planting Kit.  Complete with magical dirt, fertilizer and seeds.  The following day 2 large candy canes filled with m-n-ms had grown.

Day 10: Thomas doesn't want the kids to lose focus of the true meaning of Christmas.

Day 11: Reading a Christmas story to the stuffed animals.

Day 12: Elf Kisses to help encourage the kids to be good.
