Alf the Elf

We had an elf visit us this year, Alf.  He was a bit crazy and mischievous.  The kids loved him!  Not sure if he'll visit us again, probably so, but thinking of something "rotten" for him to do and not too messy was kinda stressing me out.  There were times that we weren't home and he would appear at the places were our family spent most of the day.   That was neat too!

he took Courtnie's lunchbox for a swing on the kitchen light

he took Colton's blanket in the middle of the night to warm up

hiding and eating candy, shame Alf!

he started a fire and was caught roasting marshmallows

he appeared at Nanie's and was playing in her manger scene

Some other things Alf did this year.... Colton forgot to put his laundry away one night and we found Alf wearing ALL of Colton's clothes, he pulled down our Advent calendar, unwrapped presents, played in our manger scene, and pulled all of the kids' movies off the shelf.

It was fun for the kids!  But I won't lie, it was like adding another kid, a bad one at that, to my household.  Not so cool with that.
