Elizabeth the Elf....

Our elf on the shelf arrived on Monday and the girls decided that she would be called Elizabeth....She has been a huge hit....

She arrived on Monday with the Elf on the Shelf book the girl's Advent Calendars and a letter from Santa introducing her.....


When Ellie first saw her she was a little wary....She sat there saying hello little elf over and over again it was so cute....We read the letter and the book and Ellie got the full understanding about what the elf is all about....

Ellie went to school and told her teacher all about the elf and her teacher just suggested that she brings Elizabeth in to show the rest of the class....Ellie shot her down and said NO! If we touch it....It will lose it's magic and won't be able to go and tell Santa we're good girls! (That's how it works....lol)

Ellie surprisingly hasn't touched it or tried to play with it which has really shocked me.....Becky went near the elf and Ellie made sure she knew not to touch it....hehehe

 
On Tuesday Elizabeth managed to climb the Christmas tree and on Wednesday she had some fun with some mini smarties....hehehe

I am so pleased how my girls are behaving.....Ellie goes to do something naughty then looks at the elf and stops what she's doing.....If only the elf magic worked for the rest of the year...lol

On Thursday Elisabeth got arty and on Friday she checked to make sure the chimney was ok for Santa....Don't worry she didn't burn her bum....The only time the fire gets put on is once a year for the gas safety check....hehehe


She has been a very good elf this week.....Next week I have a feeling she will be getting up to some mischief....

  4. We've never had an elf on the shelf here but it seems like a great activity. It's great that Ellie's taking it really seriously and has stopped Becky from playing with it as well! It's great that Ellie's not getting up to any mischief whilst the elf's around, although I wonder if that'll carry on if Elizabeth becomes mischievous herself. Popping by from Magic Moments.

    1. Well Elizabeth has been getting a little cheeky this week and Ellie thinks it's fantastic but knows she's a naughty elf....She actually said the elf has taken all her naughtiness away....lol

  5. We're a bit half hearted here with our elf, but it's still a lot of fun. Basically, my two just want him to hide and they look for him! They're not remotely fooled by the other stuff at all. I look forward to your mischievous elf antics :)

  7. Love your elf tales :). I'd like to try it with Baby M when he's a bit older, but then I worry I wouldn't keep it up. Look forward to reading about her mischievous adventures xx.
