Our Elf on the Shelf came to visit again this year. His name is Tyrone. The girls enjoyed getting up and finding him each morning. Sometimes Tyrone just moved to different parts of the living room where the girls couldn't reach him, but he also played with their toys and did funny things around the house. He also joined us on our trip to Gatlinburg. Here are some of the things that Tyrone did: colored a picture for the girls, made ornaments and decorated the felt Christmas tree, made and went fishing in jello, took a shower, had a snowball fight with a doll, cooked, ate some cauliflower and carrots at a little block table that he made, popped out of a decorative present, climbed on top of our rosemary tree, played with Lilli's toy (she was very upset that he was in her toy and playing with the doll because she could not play with those things for a whole day), made a snow angel, got into a stocking, hung Siena's panties on the stockings, and wrote them a Thank You letter that told them he would be back next year.
