Elf on the Shelf: A Little Christmas Decorating

     Today, we discovered Zippy had done a little Christmas decorating in the kitchen for us.  I think he got into my Christmas wrapping stash and stole all my bows last night.

I think he got a little carried away with the bow, don't ya think?

He left a mess for me to clean up.

He brought some Christmas Crunch and some fun surprises

Mmmmmmm,  Christmassy cereal for breakfast!

Liam decorating our window with more Christmas decorations 

We also made some Keepsake Handprint Ornaments

They turned out so beautiful.

When the kiddos get older we can look back at how small their hands were.

Looking forward to some fun tomorrow Zippy!

Elf on the Shelf: Saint Nicholas Day

       Happy Saint Nicholas Day!  Last night the kiddos set out their shoes by the fire place waiting for Saint Nicholas to arrive.  He did and brought some yummy chocolate gold coins to enjoy.  I think Zippy wants to eat this one!

Look at all those sweet treats and special surprises

Kinley wanted to take a closer look at Zippy.

Just don't touch him baby girl!

Thanks for a great Saint Nicholas Day Zippy!

Elf on the Shelf: Visiting Baby Jesus

     This morning Zippy was actually on the shelf today, visiting baby Jesus.  He knows Jesus is the reason for the CHRISTmas season.

Up on the shelf!

Brought a few Nativity surprises today

Very cook Liam!

Turned out great!

We also stuck some nativity window clings up.

That night the kiddos set out their shoes for Saint Nicholas to visit.

Wonder what St. Nicholas and Zippy will bring tomorrow?

Elf on the Shelf: Scoopin' Some Reindeer Poop

     Today, we found Zippy laundry room finishing up one a chores Santa must have given him, scooping up the reindeer poop.  I guess someone has to do it.

Some fun Reindeer surprises

Find you tomorrow Zippy!

Elf on the Shelf: We got TP-ed

     We woke up this morning to find that Zippy had toilet papered our bathroom!  He was hanging out in a little hammock, I guess because he ran out of TP.

Zippy admiring his handy work!

Oh what a mess!

Liam looking for him, look up Liam!

Some Snowman surprises

I made Liam a special Snowman lunch

He wanted to wear his Snowman sunglasses to school

He had a few Snowman PEZ after school

He put up his Snowman window clings

And making his Crystal Snowman too!

What fun!  Where are you going to be hiding tomorrow Zippy?

Elf on the Shelf: A Little Face Painting

  Today, we found Zippy sitting on Liam's picture...but there was something a little different about the pictures.  Can you figure it out?  Looks like Zippy was a little mischievous that night.

We see you Zippy! Caught you Blue handed!

Look at all those silly drawings he did.

Some Santa surprises
