Elf Adventures

Our Elf On The Shelf Red showed up the day after Thanksgiving. He has been making life quite interesting since he arrived. Briana absolutely loves finding him each and every morning, and she is so sad he will be leaving soon.

He's been all over our house.

With our K-cups...

Hiding in kettles...

Standing at attention...

Enjoying our Christmas trees...

Playing jungle gym with Briana's tinker toys...

Just hanging around...

Hiding in a stocking...

 Sitting in a manger...

Riding reindeer...

Sitting in a Charlie Brown tree...

Building marshmallow snowmen...

And he even staged a brown paper bag race...

Briana decided to leave Red a note one night a couple of weeks ago...

It was so adorable. She asked him if he had a girlfriend. And she drew a picture of her and me being surprised finding him in her bedroom (hanging with her beanie boos)...

She also threw me under the bus a bit. She wanted to buy Red a girlfriend and I nixed that idea. So, she ratted me out to him. Heh.

She drew a picture for him as well...

Red returned the favor by writing Bri back thanking her for writing and letting her know what he does when he is not with us and that he has a crush on a girl elf named "Twinkles"...

She thought that was so awesome...

And last night, Briana informed me that she made a skirt for Twinkles (for Red to take back to the North Pole to her). She is really trying to encourage their relationship...

This correspondence is getting a bit more complicated than expected. Heh.

Twinkles made Red bring a thank you card to Briana...

Briana's priceless reaction this morning...

 Red will be returning to the North Pole in a few days. Briana will miss him dearly.

{Me ~ I'm kind of ready for our visitor to head home soon. ;)}
