Oops forgot to move! 

Take a few "selfies" on your phone of your elf with some random toys around the house, save them for a day you forgot to move said elf  then later that day pull up the photos and tell child that you figured out what elf did that day, show them the photos.

Be shocked just like the kids are, “Hmmmm I wonder why he did not move” ask the kids the question and see what reasons or ideas they come up with.  Kids are smart, clever and funny and you are sure to get a giggle when they explain why THEY think the elf did not move.

 I heard the cats running around last night, I bet the Elf didn’t want to get chased by the cats so he stayed put.

Our Elves  

 When My mom and I started our elf for my little sister we did not stick to the Normal looking Elf. We found a cute elf from the store that was meant for decoration and tho He cant do as much as the bendable guys but man she loves " Steve" and when Randy and I got one for Malaki we made sure to get us one with a bit more bend but still unique. Our elves have their own little stories.
Steve loves rootbeer and brownies, has no "Elf" control when his favorite treats are involved. His favorite Movie is the Santa clause movie. Then Twinkles is Malaki's Sadly I forget what his favorites our ( he has only visited us once and my brain is blank on the treats!!! ) I know his favorite movie is the Polar express. And I guess this year we will learn better what twinkles loves to eat and drink! I will be posting what I do with Twinkles this year here on the blog so if you need easy fast or fun Ideas keep and eye out for them here!
