Candy, candy everywhere!

Elfie made a mess this morning! It looks like he got into the M&M's candy jar, spilled the candy and went and hid behind a recipe so he could eat them, lol!




 Again, lil' miss Kendyl found Elfie right away. That girl must have a sixth elf sense or something! She usually goes straight into the living room to start her search for Elfie, but nope, this morning she walked directly through the kitchen. Of course she saw the M&M mess right away and she followed the trail til she saw Elfie hiding there. She definitely thought Elfie was sneaking the candy.

Ashton noticed the candy mess right away, but didn't see Elfie at first. When he saw him, he thought Elfie was reading a recipe upside down instead of stealing the candy. When Kendyl argued her point with him, he argued back saying that there was no candy in Elfie's hand. Very observant these children are.


Being inconspicuous...

...or so he thought.

Elfie was found quite quickly yesterday (wow I really got behind in posting these!) morning by Kendyl. He was hiding inside of a snowman tealight holder. Maybe it was his bright red hat sticking out?




 It didn't take Ashton long to find Elfie, either. I think Elfie needs to start finding better hiding spots!



That evening the kids went Christmas caroling with Ashton's Cub Scout Pack at an assisted living home. The seniors absolutely loved seeing the boys up there in their uniforms. They looked so cute!
 

Keeping a low profile

Well, after Elfie was taught his lesson from Mr. Snowman, it appeared that he was keeping a low profile the next day. He was sitting curled up in our wreath. (Yes, I know the wreath doesn't match with the rest of our decor. I'm planning on changing it, I swear! We used to decorate in all blue and silver and it looked great with that, lol!)

 It didn't take Kendyl long to find Elfie this time, either.
She just loves Elfie and will sit and look at him for awhile each morning until I get on her to hurry up and eat her breakfast and get dressed!

Ashton took a little longer to find Elfie, but Kendyl loves to give him hints where Elfie is at which makes it much faster.




Sweet revenge!

Mr. Snowman got his revenge on Elfie the next morning. He captured that elf inside a glass when Elfie was returning from giving his report to Santa, and sat on it so that he couldn't get out. He kept him there all day!

Kendyl found him right away and added that she thought Mr. Snowman was cheering and that's why his arms are raised above his head.

Ashton just thought that the whole thing was amusing. Ha, revenge on Elfie!!
 Neither one of the kids felt the least bit sorry for that naughty little elf!
