Elf on a Shelf: Day 19

Move over Santa. Apparently diamonds and jewels are an Elf’s best friend.

The Princess searched high and low for her Elf on a Shelf this morning.  We walked the whole house and she had almost given up when she finally went back into her room and looked at the bathroom counter.

“THERE HE IS! LOOK MOM! WOW! That’s a whole lot of goodness gracious!”

I guess she didn’t think he’d be right under her nose, draped in most of her jewelry, a few diamond paperweights and a music box. It looked like Mardi Gras threw up on her vanity.

“Mom! He has sticker earrings on!” (Daddy will love that one, after wearing the tutu while flying with Tinkerbell, he’s been questioning Chintz’s manliness on a somewhat regular basis.)

After a good few minutes to soak it in, she went and dragged Daddy out of bed to show him the big mess too.

I left before she pointed out the earrings.

Don’t know the Elf on a Shelf story? Seems that Santa has a crew of “scout elves” that he sends to little girls and boys. Upon receipt, the elf must be named to receive his magic. Once named, he begins his Elf on a Shelf duties which means he’s watching all day and night to see if your kiddo has been good or bad. Then he uses his elf magic to fly back to the North Pole at night and report to Santa. The elf returns the same night and usually lands in a new place – which creates a game of hide and seek each morning for the children. SOME elves are mischievous and get into all types of antics during their free time at night. It’s always fun to see what the Elf on a Shelf has done the next morning.
