Elf on the Shelf: Days 1-8

This is the first year Ethan was introduced to The Elf of the Shelf. We did our elf a little differently. He still is a magical elf that Santa sent just for him to watch over him for the Christmas season. But, he will also to be reminding him to do for others and bringing small gifts like puzzles or Christmas books, and crafts. We haven't really used him fully to the naughty and nice list, though we may start trying that with his recent behavior. Our elf's name is Bing. He was delivered to our front door on the morning of December 1st following a letter from Santa to introduce him and remind him to be on his best behavior. Bing was delivered in the wrapped box sitting at the front door. He was excited to have a package delivered to him. Ethan seems to be really enjoying his antics. It took him a couple of days but, he is starting to remember to look for him and guess where he thinks he might be each morning. So here it is. December 1-December 8 of our elf's shenanigans.

December 1 - Breakfast with Bing

December 2 - Bing reading a new Christmas Book to all of Ethan's animal friends.

December  3 - Bing zip-lining across the room (he also left some fun ornaments for him to pass out)

December 4 - Monster truck sleigh. This has been one of his favorites.

December 5 - Gaga's elf Jovie subbed in for a couple of days while we were visiting. The night before we planted seeds (crushed up a candy canes) and Jovie used her magic to grow them. He thought that was pretty cool.

December 6 - Santa says be good. May need to do this one more often. He was an angel this day. It was especially needed since little brother was diagnosed with strep that morning.

December 7 - Bing got himself into some trouble. Sully was there to help out. Ethan thought this one was pretty funny.

December 8 - Bungee jumping to give Ethan a note to Do Something Nice today. We went to the mall with friends to Adopt and Angel. He picked out a fun Monster's Inc. figurine set for a little boy.

Happy Elfing!
