Kissing Booth

Christmas Tree the Elf looks like he's trying to make the most of the time he has left before he retires until next year.  Many thanks to the elf, LivingLocurto.com for giving Christmas Tree this great idea and for letting him modify the booth a bit.

2 Days!

The Stache

Look closely at the photo of the girls with their cousin, Vincent.  Our naughty elf gave the kiddos a makeover.

Nom Nom with Om Nom

Looks like Christmas Tree wanted to get in on the fun the girls were having with the "Cut the Rope" Holiday app.

Happy Birthday!

Christmas Tree was so sweet and covered the house with birthday wishes for Natalia.  He even made sure she didn't miss seeing him so he was seated in the middle of the stairs.

What? Who? Where?

The days are just SCREAMING by me so best to just photo montage our elf's escapades for now.  He's been busy!

Looks like trying to hang tinsel was too much of a chore.

Hitching a ride.

Maybe Christmas Tree was trying out the Advent Calendar chimney, like Santa?

Printer/Copy Machine fun.

The girls loved waking up to this scene of Christmas Tree and Barbie on a Chrismanukkah date, enjoying maple syrup.

Little Stinker!  He was trying to get to the girls' Advent Calendar treat.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Thanks to our elf, Christmas Tree, for helping out a bit and starting the decorations on the tree. Apparently our little elf picked up Sleeping Beauty along the way for a little horse ride around the tree. 

Let It Snow

How nice of Christmas Tree to bring some of that North Pole snow fun with him to Southern California.  Thank you little elf for inspiring us to create our own snowflakes.  Iliana was especially happy that he decided to use the safety scissors.

Wii Wii

Christmas Tree the Elf recruited Merida (from Disney's Brave) to play some Wii.  The girls were all a giggle to catch Christmas Tree creating his Wii Mii.  They love that he'll be part of the Wii selection of characters.

PEAS and Peace

Looks like Christmas Tree the Elf was influenced by Mommy's Christmas Songs on the radio.  OR he really likes peas?  Hmmmm - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkZC7sqImaM (John Lennon video).

Bungee Fun

Stinky, the garbage truck, draped in tinsel was on the landing which gave the girls a clue that Christmas Tree the Elf was nearby...

The view from the front door inbetween floors two and three.

 

The girls were still a little sleep-eyed but enjoyed seeing their elf.

 

 

Naughty, Not Nice

Christmas Tree the Elf decided that it would be funny to empty out  Mommy's purse on the floor and jump in the purse for a ride.  Not funny.

TP Fun

Not so funny Elf.  Toilet Paper trail from Iliana's bedside that led down to the Guest Bathroom to reveal our mischievous friend. 

Rocket Man

Um, I think the video below says it all.  The funny thing is that Iliana wanted to sleep with Mommy & Tata (Daddy) last night so when she woke up, she saw her Elf, Christmas Tree, taking a wild ride on the ceiling fan. The squeals of laughter from a five year old was a Holiday treat.

Live from the Living Room

Looks like some karaoke fun.
 

The Force Is With Him

Christmas Tree Vukotich the Elf must have been inspired by the Star Wars marathon on TV. We found him this morning having a lightsaber/marker battle with our Yoda backpack.

Oh Naughty Elf

The girls were all giggles this morning to find Christmas Tree had made a snow angel with my marshmallows.  At least he was thoughtful enough to put some parchment paper down for easy clean up.

He's Back!

Our Elf on the Shelf appropriately named, Christmas Tree Vukotich, by Iliana last year, is back. He's back for the holidays and we'll record his whereabouts daily through Christmas 2012.
