Bobby's Travels

The Elf on the Shelf made a guest appearance at our house this Christmas season!  We had so much fun wondering where he would end up and what mischief he would create.  We named him Bobby and this is the proof of his escapades!  He started by welcoming us to hot chocolate in Santa mugs the first morning...

then he decided to take a ride on the ceiling fan in the kitchen the next!

Then he decided to get into the Christmas spirit by reading the story of Christ's birth...

Then he thought he would just hang around with the Christmas bells that wake the kids up on Christmas morning.

The next night there was an eclipse, 

and Bobby watched it from his hiding spot on the piano.

He hung out with the kid's nativities,

but we were all really surprised when he toilet papered the Christmas tree!  Can you spot him?

Yep - he caused a little mischief that night!

He must have run down the battery on my itouch - it was dead and the kids had to go a whole day without playing on it! 

A little more mischief the next morning when we found he had a little fun with the copy machine - he had made several copies of his face and even his cute little toosh!

He hund out on the door bell one morning...

Read books in Leighton's room the next...

And then thought hanging out in Garrett's room would increase his animal magnetism!

The next morning we found out he had had a snowball/marshmallow fight with a lego man.  B.E. (Bobby Elf)


He took another ride on a ceiling fan - this time in the family room...

Wrote a daring message for McKenna on her bathroom mirror.

Then decided that Weeble Wobbles shouldn't have all the fun!

Addison found him watching her sleep...

McKenna found he was practicing his princess wave...

And last but not least - Leighton found him in Kimber's room ready for the big day!

It really ended up being alot of fun to see where Bobby would show up - even Leighton would wake up asking for Bobby and toddling off around the house to find him.  Wonder if he will show up next year!
