Our "Elf on the Shelf", Buddy, arrived just before Thanksgiving. Owen was so excited!!
zip lining across the living room...
Buddy the elf watched over the kids each day and flew back to the North Pole each night to report back to Santa! When he returned to our house he would find a new place to observe all the happenings of the day.
making snow angles...
When Buddy first arrived, he would just move from place to place without much activity...but after a few weeks he started getting creative!! I guess that's what happens when he shows up in November!
looks like he got into the skittles....
One day, Buddy had to bring a letter from Santa!! Apparently Owen had made it on the BAD list and Santa wanted him to work really hard to get back on the NICE list!!
Owen was really concerned about the mess Buddy had made....he kept telling us "He made a mess...that's not okay"
cutting out paper snowflakes...
Owen was sooooo excited about looking/finding Buddy every morning! It was the FIRST thing he did everyday! Sometimes he would wake up extra early just to find Buddy!! One night he actually woke up in the middle of the night and realized Buddy had already returned from the North Pole....this lead to some difficulty at bedtime. For a few nights after this occurrence, Owen would get up 4-5 times after we put him to bed just to see if Buddy had moved! Fun times!!
napping in the tissue box...
TP-ing the Christmas tree....
Owen was pretty funny when he saw the toilet paper wrapped around the Christmas tree. He said "That's not okay mommy", "Did he use all the toilet paper?", and then he ran to his bathroom to make sure Buddy hadn't taken his toilet paper.

praying over baby Jesus....
