Christmas has rolled around again and one of our favorite traditions (along with everyone else in the world it seems) is watching Oofie our Elf on the Shelf and all of his shenanigans before Christmas Eve arrives. The boys love it...and of course, I do too! Not only do they get up early on Christmas morning now, but once Oofie arrives, it's early rising for us all each day up until he leaves for good. The first thing they say when they wake up is "Let's find Oofie!" Well here he is....
 |
| Day 1 - Oofie arrives via a hot air balloon! Took him a while, he says, because balloons are difficult to steer ;) |
 |
| Day 2 - Oofie takes charge of Rhett's pirate ship. He along with Jake and the Neverland Pirates have put Captain Hook out of the boat! |
 |
| Day 3 - Oofie took our sign that normally hangs on our refrigerator door and added some other rules to it as well. Just so happens those are just the things that have been getting Rhett and Braydon into some trouble lately. |
 |
| Day 4 - Captain America has mistaken Oofie for an intruder. Oofie wants us to take up for him but then again realizes it 's a pretty safe place considering Braydon was up all night sick. |
& then I lose count of what day it is...this elf business is exhausting but FUN!
Here are some our Oofie's tricks and treats...some are missing I'm sure, but you can get the gist of it all. I plan on making a memory book for the boys at the suggestion of a friend and plan on continuing this tradition for as long as we all believe...and maybe beyond :)

| Had to get the sand out of his shorts the next day :D |
 |
| Dad's big buck is now Rudolph! |
 |
| Oofie has the moves! & just so happens to love one of the boys favorite songs... |
 |
| He never forgets the reason for the season...here he reads from the Bible....the Christmas story :) |
