Elf on the Shelf

So our holiday friend, Nick (aka The Elf on the Shelf) is a huge hit in our home!  He visits our house every day in a new spot and the kids love running downstairs first thing in the morning to locate him.  He watches them closely and they are very aware of his presence....and they haven't tried to touch him once! Which is good, because he could lose his magic if they do.  The sneaky elf keeps us all on our toes...and he has had some pretty interesting watch-spots these past few days....take a look:

On Sunday he was hiding in the plant...and he made a mess getting in there too!  Dirt all over the floor....tsk tsk, naughty elf.

Today he was underneath the Christmas tree...having a tea party with the kids tea set and some of their figurine toys! The kids were in awe. (Sorry the pics are not the best, I took them with my phone when the camera wasn't available).


Finally, here is what awaits for them tomorrow morning...the elf has set up early, with a little message to help kick off their day:
