Day 24: Elves Eat Sushi Too!

Day 22: Playing With the Blinds

Who says you can't do a little repelling in an apartment--even if it is on the mini blinds?

Day 21: The Reason for the Season

Rest assured that even though I haven't posted about Chippey in over a week, he's still around and doing his thing.  Truth is Reese was in Brenham all last week, and of course Chippey had to follow to ensure Reese was on her best behavior.

She really loved the scene when she woke up this morning shouting "Chippey's with Baby Jesus!".  Because of course Chippey knows the real reason for the season!

Day 12: Marshmallows Roasting on an Open Fire

Reese was really impressed this morning with Chippey "making marshmellows", especially since she recently roasted marshmallows at the Domain and has it fresh on her mind.

Day 11: Chippey is Definitely a Parker

If any of you are familiar with the Parker's, you know they are all very creative and "artsy", namely Grandpa. I guess you can say Chippey fits right in.  Reese thought it was hilarious that Chippey had drawn a self portrait of himself on my iPad.  She can hardly wait to utilize this app too.

Day 9: Alternative Transportation

Chippey must have had too much fun with his other scout elf friends at the North Pole to fly back on his own, so he chose another form of transportation back to the ATX.

Sleepy Face!  She was also scared to stand on the counter for me to take her pic, but beggers can't be choosers.

Day 8: Snow, I Mean Flour Angels

Chippey is used to snow, and we don't have any here, so he resorted to having a little winter fun in the kitchen....with the flour.  All Reese could say was "Chippey made a big mess".  "Is he going to clean it up?"

Day 7: A Day of Rest

Today, Chippey observed a day of rest too, and decided to just perch up high on the window sill.  Reese was asked at church how he got up so high and her reply: "he climbed up a ladder". Duh! Why fly when you can climb a ladder?

Day 6: Chippey Cooks Breakfast

Saturday morning Chippey was up bright and early after his return from the North Pole and whipped up some elf-sized pancakes, just for Reese.

Day 5: Getting a Little Carried Away with the TP.

From the bathroom to the kitchen without a tear! That's pretty impressive, Chippey.  Of course, we made it a little easier on you given our living arrangements, but still!

Day 4: Taking Some Tips from Santa

Reese and I baked chocolate chip cookies last night and it seems that when Chippey returned from his trip to the North Pole, he just couldn't resist himself.  Perhaps Santa has taught his scout elves a thing or two?

Day 3: It's Important for Elves to Have Good Dental Hygiene Too!

Reese found Chippey on her bathroom counter this morning with HER toothbrush in hand, sitting in HER cup, with HER toothpaste leaking out of the cap.  She then proceeded to say that she wanted Santa to bring her a new toothbrush.

Chippey Day 2

Reese had a hard time finding Chippey this morning.  I guess I'll blame it on this tiny cluttered temporary apartment we're in or maybe she has similar genes as me (my parents always said I ran around looking at the sky and trying to hunt Easter eggs--I still deny it).  So, I ended up having to pick her up for her to notice him hanging out in the strainer full of rice crispies on the pot rack.  You can't see it, but he made quite the mess on the counter below too.

Look! He's Back!

Chippey's back, making his appearance this morning holding on tight to the star on top of the tree.  He left Reese absolutely speechless this morning...just take a watch.

We read the book last night to prepare for his arrival and it's amazing how excited she is about all of the Christmas Magic!

My goal is to have a little more fun with Chippey this year since Reese is at an age to better appreciate and my goal is to try and post his shenanigans each day too (hopefully I can succeed!).

I hope all of you are enjoying a little Christmas Magic at your home too.  I just can't seem to get the little jingle from the movie out of my head "Look! He's Back! The Elf on the Shelf, Christmas Magic in this little Elllllffff".
