Elf on the Shelf 2014

We had lots of fun with Hermie, our Elf on the shelf, again this year. The kids came home to find that he was delivered in a package and had busted out of the box! He also enjoyed some popcorn, hung around in the kids bathroom and worked out a bit.

He checked up on baby Jesus, made snow angels in flour and cuddled up to his good buddy by the front door.

Christian had a hard time finding him being crazy in a pair of underwear stuck to the play room ceiling fan! The silverware drawer and master bathroom cabinet were both good hiding places, too.

He cut some snowflakes, waved goodbye to us but then showed up in California! Love that he put that free shower to good use :)

We didn't see him when we left our hotel room on the 19th, but he made it home to hide in the master bedroom tree and then ride a pterodactyl in Buddy's room.

He was pretty sneaky when he dressed up as a shepherd and goofy in faith's room wearing a knee-high sock.

We knew he would head back to the north pole and not be there on Christmas morning, but Christian and Faith woke up to a great surprise – – Hermie had taken selfies and added them as wallpaper to their phones!
