The Adventures of Chippy- Part 1

We started a new family tradition this year.  The Elf on the Shelf joined us on Thanksgiving evening.  Pumpkin and Princess unwrapped the magically appearing package to discover their own elf with a story book inside.  Earlier in the day we had watched An Elf's Story and they were enthralled wishing that they had their own elf to watch over them.

The kids decided to name him Chippy like the elf in the movie.  We read about Chippy's secret mission for Santa.  We also read that if we touch him his special elf magic disappears and he cannot tell Santa if we have been good.

Since then Chippy has been busy. . . . . and the kids have been on the hunt every morning.

Day 1 (Thanksgiving):  He arrived in the evening and hung out in his box until the kids went to sleep.


Day 2:  He is found hanging out with the Willow Tree angel girls up high on top of a cabinet.  He has the perfect view of the annual decorating of the Christmas tree.  Princess leaves him a candy cane treat and a mini Twix bar.



Day 3:  He was found hanging on the prism in the sun room window.  Chippy even left his calling card.  He used Scooby Doo dominoes to spell his name.  Then he left a small "thank you" note with the wrappers of the candy cane and twix bar.







Day 4 (this morning): He was found partying on top of the play kitchen with a "nest" of animals and a picture of the family.  Princess is pretty sure that he made a nest and was not just hanging out.



What will be in store for the next week????  Who knows!!!!
