The Elf Is Back!

He's baaaaackk!!

Back from the North Pole to report whats going on to Santa.

Wonder where we'll find him getting into this year??

Speaking Of Elves....

Zonko is BACK in TOWN! 

He arrived on Thanksgiving and has kept the girls on their toes trying to find him every morning.

This might just be my favorite.  Zonko found himself a girl!
 

Gianna had a hard time finding Zonko in this spot!  Took her a few trips through the room!

Dressing up the house today.  I feel so behind though I know I'm not.  Now if Zonko would play me some Christmas music I'd be set!

Zonko's Back!

Shortly after Thanksgiving, our Elf, Zonko, came back to visit. He's been all over the place!

The best part of his visits? The girls jump out of bed in the morning to find him! ;)

Deck The Halls

Today Zonko threw the girls for a loop but they found him! He decided to hang out in the family room on top of a speaker for the surround sound where the girls like to hang out & watch TV. I just hope Joe doesn't turn it on & shake him off his spot! ;)

Maybe Zonko heard we were going to be decorating the tree today & wanted a good spot to sit & watch. Our tree is up & waiting for the ornaments...the toughest part for me is fluffing all the branches...not my favorite part but it's WAY better than when I had to string the lights on the tree..that was TORTURE for me!! Joe could tell you stories about that! So now we're decking the halls & feeling all merry as our favorite holiday begins!!

Zonko

Yesterday Zonko didn't budge from his spot on the wreath. I think the activities around here really wore Zonko out! Maybe it smelled too good in the kitchen & he didn't want to miss out! LOL! This morning he managed to trick the girls again with his new spot.
He's still hanging out in the kitchen....in a much better spot to watch the girls as they eat.

On the Elf Hunt!

So the girls are really into Zonko! Marissa even wrote him a letter. I melted a bit after reading it.Could she be any cuter?? Maybe the cuteness won Zonko over too, since he did show up in an easy to find spot.... This wreath hangs on our pantr y door & has a view of the kitchen, dining area, & family room...basically the more used rooms on the house. Somehow, my kids MISSED him sitting there!! They had to get some help for the hunt from Daddy....that Zonko really can fool ya! ;)

In response to her letter Zonko (who won't talk to the kids) left Marissa a note of sorts..... The smile on her face was priceless!!

Elf On The Shelf

Tonight "Santa" sent us his elf to help keep tabs on things around here. The girls really got into it & we had a fun time naming our new friend. His name is Zonko.

Yes, Harry Potter is very big around here! LOL!! Can't wait to see all the places where Zonko pops up...the girls are so excited to find him & plan to get up early to go hunting for him.
