Elf on the Shelf - Week 3

Christmas has come and gone which means that Elfie Pokie Nokie has left our home for another year.

I've been a little behind at updating the blog with all of our Christmas festivities so we'll just have to pretend that it's Christmas for a little longer. That's nothing unusual around here!

Let's get back to it with another Elife Pokie Nokie update...

Day 15

On day 15 the girls couldn't find Elfie for a while - until they looked up. There he was hanging out in the dryer with all the snuggly warm clothes. Much more comfortable than his earlier hiding spot in the fridge!

Day 16
After almost a week of it sitting in the corner of the living room bare, we finally got around to decorating our Christmas tree with ornaments. Elfie was obviously pleased about this and we found him perched in the tree trying to blend in.

Day 17
That Elfie Pokie Nokie is one creative little elf. On day 17 we found him with pencils and water colors at hand as he created a festive masterpiece. I do believe it was an "elf portrait".

Day 18
The voucher for day 18 in our advent calendar invited the girls to read a Christmas story. Elfie was prepared with a new Christmas book ready for the kids. It looks like we may have caught him reading it to the Danish wooden birds that like to follow him around our apartment. They look rather engrossed in the story.

Day 19
On day 19 we found Elfie doing what he does best: being an elf on a shelf! The kids found him sitting on top of the bookshelf in the living room along with a few other toys. Wait... what's that I see there? One of the Google Android toys is missing an arm - an arm that just happens to be sitting next to Elfie. Did he have something to do with this? Ok, that's a little scary!

Day 20
That Elfie Pokie Nokie doesn't like to move around an awful lot lately. We found him sitting on the cabinet in the dining room yet again, this time crammed into a vase with just his head sticking out.

Day 21
It's lucky that Mathilde didn't have pre-school on day 21, because if she did she'd have a little friend tagging along with her! After searching for quite some time the kids spotted him sticking out of Mathilde's backpack on the coatrack in the girls' bedroom. No preschool for you Mr Elfie.

Stay tuned for one more installment in Elfie Pokie Nokie's antics in our home this year.
