Last year we introduced a boy elf (whom was bought at Carolina Pottery) to our family and our girls decided to name him "Elf". He did some pretty cool things last year, but I didn't photograph them. This year I was determined to capture the shennanigans.
Our Elf usually shows up the evening of Thanksgiving (when the girls are asleep). After each photo I'll leave a little blurb about what was happening!
Hopefully this will help ya'll with some ideas should you ever get "stuck"! Enjoy!
My oldest daughter had her regional cheer competition on "Black Friday", so Elf came out in full spirit to show his support!
Caught Elf the second night trying to ride on the backs of our cute lil' owls. Getting too lazy to fly back to the North Pole so soon?
Building something fancy!
What a naughty Elf! Dry erase marker on a few of the photos in our living room!
Elf was wanting his own zipline in the kitchen!
Not too sure if he was trying to make some coffee...but he sure got himself into quite the predicament!
Late night game of chess with his buddy Barbie. I wonder if Elf is getting lonely?
Hey, it was a Friday night. And he likes it cold so he was hangin' out in the fridge!
Either Elf was getting lonely, or he thought that he could use an extras set of eyes and ears for reporting back to Santa. So, along came a girl elf whom we named "Dot". The Little Pets were there to greet her!
Elf and Dot became good friends, and cozied up inside a stocking for the night.
"Hangin" out in the bathroom.
Reminding us to "smile".
Elf and Dot were definitely being naughty when they swapped out the stockings for CLEAN underwear!
All set for their "date night" with one of their favorite movies!
Barbie had reported a stolen vehicle last night. The criminals were spotted after picking up a Christmas tree.
Elf and Dot were trying to give the girls a message using our "Merry Christmas" blocks that the living room needed some tidying up!
The elves crash landed into our tree after a night of flying their paper airplanes.
Logged onto Pinterest to check out what their friends have been up to. Or were they researching some ideas?
Dang it! They found my stash!
They thought this was SO much nicer than ice fishing!
(Excuse the crappy photo collage). But, the two of them were hanging out in our stairwell.
Elf and Dot decided that they wanted to decorate a tree in our dining room.
Elf and Dot praying for the children and families from Newtown, CT.
Dot snuck into my youngest daughter's room and Elf snuck into my oldest daughter's room while they were away at a sleep over.
Getting into the Christmas spirit by playing some carols. Notice they're sitting by the "Jingle Bells" selection?
Unfortunately the elves came down with some sympathy sickness after the girls both had a fever.
Apparently having a "Pony Parade" is the thing to do in the North Pole. So, they decided to have a pony on every. single. step...
Practicing their "Cirque Du Solei" moves from our ceiling fan.
Yes. This has to be my favorite. I caught Elf in my office using an old point and shoot for his photoshoot for the "2013 Girl Elves of the North Pole" calendar!
Doing some DIY on the gingerbread house. How nice of them!
Dot knows too much. Trying to keep her quiet a couple more days.
The final day the elves always go all out and decorate because it is my youngest daughter's birthday (Christmas Eve). And it is always the last day we see the elves since Santa comes that night.
I hope you enjoyed some of our elves fun!
Next year will be quite the challenge with having to come up with more ideas!
