Barney & Holly

The elves that live in our house didn't come out quite as early as everyone else's.  We thought about Thanksgiving night, then we talked about December 1st and well, those dates came & went.  Luckily for us, Boston was grounded from Wii for lying to me, not lucky for us that he lied, but lucky for us that he was grounded because we told him the elves couldn't come to our house until he was ungrounded.  Here's what the little stinkers have been up to this year

They TP'd the tree the first night & wrote "we're back" on the empty toilet paper roll

The kids loved seeing what the elves were up to each day, but my brain was getting to be an elf mush!!  Thank goodness for Pinterest, Instagram, & Twitter for all of the #elfontheshelf help!! Barney & Holly left notes for the kids in their stockings as their last "gifts".
