Yes, our elf is as mischievous as the rest. My 9 year old dispelled the whole rumor about touching the elf means it loses its magical powers. Because he touched the elf. Over and over again. And yet the elf kept moving and still keeps moving and doing silly little things and sometimes he gets in trouble or stuck in sticky situations, and sometimes he gets into a pickle. Most importantly the presents from Santa still come! And now, well, the whole family gets involved and we have loads of fun. I got sad one day when elf went missing... but I found him. Elf has become like a little dog... following me around all over the place. One day he happened to jump into my bag unbeknownst to me... and this is what happened. 

Our elf is as mischievous as the rest. One day he tried to go fishing. I am happy to say he was unsuccessful!

Even elf thinks that everything is better all sparkly!

Sometimes he gets himself into puzzling situations....

Sometimes he just likes to hang around...

In fact he hangs around a fair amount....

One day I found him in my bag....

And I brought him to my Zumba class... I think he had fun.

After Zumba he was hungry....

And I said no, silly little elf... You'll undo all the good from your workout!

And so I let him have some coffee...We had a lot to do - for we had a busy day ahead... 

He helped me with the stamps at the post office...

And came with me to the car wash.

He loved the car wash! He had never seen anything like it! Santa doesn't bring his sleigh into one of these!

We needed some cash. We were getting low on money. 

I went to get the boys a snack... Someone just couldn't keep his hands to himself!

What else did elf do that day? You will have to stay tuned for Part 2!
