Elf on the Shelf: 12/7-12/17

Jack, our Elf on the Shelf, is back again!  He's been all over the living room and kitchen areas.  I think he's afraid to move beyond those areas in to the great unknown of children's bedrooms and bathrooms and whatnot :)

 I think this one may be my favorite so far.  I spy something RED.......  =)

{{ Elf on the Shelf }} Jack: 11/30-12/6

Nov. 30th.  Jack must have been feeling the LOVE :)

 Sneaking in some story time :)

 Need some shoes Jack??

 Jack is smooth, even screwed the lid back on after he got in!

 Doing some repelling.  I love the reflection of the tree bokeh in the frames and mirror on the far wall :)

 I think Jack wanted a late night mug of hot cocoa :)  There were marshmallows on the counter around the mug, but someone just ate them all..... including sneaking some from the mug itself!

 Hmm, maybe Jack's perch right behind the kitchen sink is a sign that he wants me to catch up on my housework..... ;o)

Jack must have been lonely last night :)

Jack was just hanging around. 

Derik needed some help finding Jack this morning.  Good hiding spot Jack!

{{ Just Us }} Elf on the Shelf

Elf on the Shelf has finally made it's way in to our house!  I'm not sure who is more excited, the kids or myself! :)  If you're not sure what Elf on the Shelf is, check out their website here.

So meet Jack, our elf from the North Pole.  The timing was great and the day we picked up Jack at Target, they were showing the Elf on the Shelf movie that night on CBS.  My 5 year old totally gets it, my 3 year old, not so much yet.....

So I will be photographing Jack's adventures around our house this year, and I will hopefully be uploading them every few days.  This morning, we found Jack in a wreath, hanging behind the Christmas tree...
