christmas elves anyone?

[nicurn]

hallmark has both the elf on a shelf book with elf and a separate activity book to go along with it. they also have a book with a mouse attached to it called something like, "clues to tell if the elves/reindeer/santa/mrs claus have been watching you", it was cute but kind of pricey.. oh they also had the tiny rodney and rhonda reindeer which are perfect for baby reindeer. I did buy a baby rodney... couldn't help myself. (and then I called buffy and told her and she said that she was NEVER going to answer the phone again when my name comes up on caller ID. ) clearly I need to call other people, but I only have her number.

We were at the Disney Store last night, and they had two elves for the new movie? I'm not sure what it is, but they were cute!! One was a boy and one was a girl!

I also got the cutest Recollections elf and reindeer stamps at M's last night for $1 each! Just in case you needed to do "elf mail" or something!!

 

[nicurn]

I think the elves at the disney store are from prep and landing which is on abc family soon. I know I set my tivo for it so maybe dec 2 or 3rd?

Note to self run by M's this week.... maybe tomorrow..

I'm cool w/ that only for my bratty mother to call me today to tell me Dad said they could go to Disney.. Daddy is going to get an earful tonight.... How dare he not offer to take me... what is this man thinking????? OH, it's so on!!!! lol

OMG! this is one of the cutest and funniest threads I have found and read in a long time!!!

I bought an elf for my neice about a month ago and found out on Thanksgiving that both grammies did the same. Couldn't send Calvin back to the North Pole, so DH and I have a new decoration. Now I have all these ideas to bring him to life! Thanks all.

Anyone who is looking for an elf I got mine from northpole magic.

Calvin will travel to WDW with us in a few weeks. Need to find some florida wear for Calvin.

Looking forward to seeing more ideas and photos!

did anyone ever post a comprehensive list of elf pranks? ours are coming tomorrow (tonight)...

at some point they are going to wrap all of kate's school books and put them back in her backpack (gotta get that done either for tomorrow or early next week because then it's exams and she's done)

they will be having a snowball fight (have cotton balls just for this)

playing the wii

toilet papering the living room again

I think this year they will hang dh's boxers from the ceiling fan (after they attempt to do laundry of course)

teaching the reindeer how to fly... (hanging them from the ceiling fan and having the elves hanging onto some kind of harness thingie

playing board games or card games

posing for elf xmas cards with the nutcrackers that are out

"helping" to decorate the tree... getting tangled in the lights or something

they are coming to dallas with us for the weekend and since it is st nicholas day on the 6th, kate will be leaving one of her hardshoes out on the 5th and the elves will put something in it, no idea what but... (we are there for an irish dance comp, might as well get some extra use out of the hard shoe right? )

any other ideas?
