I love looking at everyone's pictures of their Elf on a Shelf. Last year was the first year an elf showed up at our house. My boys named him Zork. I thought I'd share my pictures of our elf's adventures.
The book came in the mail from the North Pole.
He showed up the next morning after the book. He was holding a letter from Santa introducing him. The free printable can be found at
Organized Christmas He was also holding 2 blank dear Santa letters for each of my boys with instructions for them to fill them out and leave them for him. The free printable can be found at
Crafty Carnival
The next day he returned the letters and they were approved and signed by Santa as long as they were good.
My 5 year old loves making volcanos and science experiments. The Elf made a volcano and a big mess. The next morning he cleaned up but left some of the baking soda with I'm sorry written in it.
That night my 2 year old touched the Elf. The next day he had to rest to get his magic powers back.
He read 'Twas the Night before Christmas
He brought them a North Pole breakfast. There was a note telling them that Santa told him to bring it because they were being good.
He went used a parachute, but ended up hanging from the ceiling fan.
He put a coloring book page on a picture frame and used it as an easel.
He baked some cupcakes for my son's birthday and ate one.
He played on a shelf in the playroom.
He had a cotton ball snowball fight with some Lego minifigures.
He hung on on some decorations on the wall.
He was tangled up in some christmas decorations
Up on at shelf with Grandpa's flag.
More wall decorations...
He was sitting high up on the TV
He made cinnamon roll sticks for breakfast.
He hid in the freezer eating a cake pop.
He got caught up in the blinds in the boys' room
He left them a message in toothpaste.
He played with the gingerbread people and made a little sign.
Photo copied himself
Went for a ride in the car.
My husband's a pilot and works holidays a lot. We don't always celebrate Christmas on Christmas day. We celebrate Pilot's Christmas before he leaves when he works on Christmas. The kids get to open all their family gifts. Just the Santa gifts show up on Christmas morning. The elf made a banner for it.
Hanging out on the Christmas tree. No matter what we tried we couldn't get a star to stay on top of this tree. We ended up with my dog angel from years ago. The kids thought he wa great.
Christmas Eve morning is his last day here. He left the kids some goodies. They had made the foam gingerbread houses a few days before.
He left them a good buy letter in his teeny tiny writing.
They also got some bags of reindeer food to sprinkle on the lawn that night. This really cute free printable is from
The TomKat Studio
Now I have to start wondering about what our elf will do this year...
