Elf on the shelf

Elf on the shelf is all the hype now a days. I remember being a little girl my granny had an elf, he was so scary looking and his name was Cracko. Cracko delivered gifts to my moms house for us and he delivered gifts to my grandparents cottage where we spent most Christmas'. He was similar to this one.....

Cracko never brought any of us good gifts, it was a roll of toilet paper or an empty kleenex box and every year papa's big 4 foot long Christmas stocking was filled with the junk drawer contents from the kitchen and a big ol lump of coal. As I stood this evening looking at our elves I was remembering the fun we had with Cracko.

Our children have 2 elves. The girls named their elf Sparkle and the boys named their elf Reindeer. Meet our elves......

Don't be fooled...they look cute and sweet and nothing like Cracko but they certainly act like him!

Sparkle shoved Reindeer down into the DVD's....

We had an Elf snowball fight.....

Sparkle of course pegged Reindeer right in the forehead knocking him over......

Then MJ our border collie snatched him up off the table and carried poor Reindeer into the living room and ate the marshmallow off his forehead!

Someone got tired of all the miss behavior in the night hours and decided to do something about it....

Looks like Reindeer had an embarrassing accident! So Tyler ate his first Elf poop, he said it tasted like chocolate!

All I can do is hope and prey they will behave tonight.....Jenn
