The life of Buddy: Our Elf

 

This year we were blessed to have Buddy join our family.  This mischievous elf filled our days with lots of fun.  The kids loved having him around and I would like to think he helped them act a little bit nicer.  Maybe next year he won't come to our house so early. Here are pictures of the silly things he did this year.


He turned the milk green.


And took a marshmallow bubble bath.


He made copies of himself in the copy machine.


The day before, Cooper threw Buddy in the trash (all wrapped in a tissue so he wouldn't lose his magic).  This was his pay back.


Cooper didn't mess with Buddy after this.


He got bored and rolled down the stairs in a roll of toilet paper.


He left the kids a letter telling them to plant kisses and sprinkles in flour.


The next day candy canes appeared.


He left them all of them everything they would need to write their letters to Santa.

 
 
He must have been hungry because he tried roasting marshmallows over a candle.  I guess it didn't work because he isn't allowed to play with matches.
 

He did snow angles in flour.
 

On this particular night he decided to cause a little trouble . . .


And decorated the kids doors.


He made green Rice Krispies treats.


He popped some popcorn and watched a movie.



And he hid in Kamryn's stocking.


Surprise . . . he left the kids tickets to SeaWorld.

 
 
We found him reading books.
 
 
And he even went on a drive with Snow White;)
 

 
He took a night off and had a nap with a tissue blanket.
 

 
He set up a game of Sorry with some of his friends.
 
 
 
He played with the trains.
 

 
And toilet papered our Christmas tree!
 
 
I guess he didn't want to be left behind because we found him hanging in the car when it was time to drive up to Utah.
 

 
He did some zip lining from the fireplace to the Christmas tree.
 
 
And for his last day, he left a note reminding the kids that there was only one day left until Christmas.
