25 Days of Oakley the Elf on the Shelf!

Call me crazy but I thought it would be so fun to dress Oakley up as an elf on the shelf!  I figured, she’s my first one and once I have more I won’t have time for stuff like this, so I might as well do it now!  We had so much fun!  We cracked up taking the pictures every day.  We watch Elf more times a year than I care to admit, so there are quite a few Elf references below.  We’ve already started thinking of ideas for next year.  I’m so looking forward to when she’s older and she wakes up every morning looking for her Elf on the Shelf. I think she’ll enjoy looking back at these pictures one day.

Here are the captions that went with each picture!

Our elf on the shelf showed up today and is already reporting back to Santa. Oops!

Oakley the Elf taking merry and bright to a new level!

We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup!

Then, I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest and through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops!

Oakley the Elf says we better clean up our act if we want Santa to come this year!

You’re bringing Christmas goodies to the neighbors? I’ll come too!

Uhh, Abigail wrapped herself up in the lights!

Please refill the cookie jar! The dogs ate them all, not me!

Oops! You weren’t supposed to see this…

Starting the day off with a well balanced meal… sprinkles!

Caught one little elf making a midnight snack last night!

The look on my mom’s face: PRICELESS!

Oakley the Eft, what’s your favorite color?

Oakley the Elf says, “I’m the greatest gift of all, am I right?”

10 more days until the best day of the year!

Taste testing milk and cookies for Santa!

Tis the season to be jolly!

Elves make the best gingerbread houses!

Oakley the Elf says she’s missing the North Pole so she made her own!

Hot chocolate anyone?

Oh come on, just let me open one present early! It’s elf-sized!

Just having a little elf tea party!

On Abigail! On Colt! On Charlie! Santa’s taking the year off, I’m running this sleigh!

The little elf thought she would make us a Christmas Eve breakfast!

Until next year everyone!
