Day 9 – Beach Day
So Max (and me) have been a little jealous of all my Florida friends and family posting pictures at the beach and on the lake in 80-degree weather (in December!!) while we’re in day 8 of rain and it’s 42 degrees. Well Max decided it was time for a little beach getaway… When Brogan saw Max, he promptly decided he’d taste the sand (so glad Max opted for brown sugar!).

Day 8 – Carnival Ride
We think Max has lost his mind… he turned our fan into a carnival ride! The boys were both pretty amazed at this one. Beckett would just stand in the living room looking up at all these swinging toys and grin. Too fun! 🙂 Click here to see what else our elf has done this year.

Day 7 – Roasting Marshmallows
No campfire to be found so Max found the next best thing. After finding Max, Brogan promptly requested some marshmallows… Click here to see what else our elf has done this year.

Day 6 – Strung Up
Our elf got into a bit of a pickle last night… seems as though the green army men got the best of him. Not to worry, we’re pretty sure Max can get out of it! Brogan was amazed with this one! But the awe and wonder wore off just as soon as he realized he couldn’t play with his dump truck for the day (notice it is what’s holding the rope Max is swinging by). Perhaps Max can get a clue and stop messing with Brogan’s favorite things. Or not, because after all, it’s not like Brogan does what he’s told. 🙂 Click here to see what else our elf has…

Day 5 – Chocolate War
So our elf got into a little chocolate combat with some of his friends last night… While initially excited, when Brogan discovered that Max had used all of his Oreos to build his fortress, he was slightly miffed. Oops. Click here to see what else our elf has done this year.

My Appliqued Stockings
I had these stockings made last year by my mother-in-law, but that was pre-blog and now I get to share them! I love, love, love these stockings! I found them at Hobby Lobby, and then had my MIL appliqué the first letter of each of our names and embroider our names through them. I loved these so much that I bought an extra stocking and more fabric just in case our family needs five one day 😉

Day 4 – Sick Elf
The flu is going around our house and Max was not immuned. Poor little elf got sick. Brogan felt well enough this morning to go searching for Max and couldn’t believe he was sick too! Hoping everyone in this house gets better soon! Click here to see what else our elf has done this year.

Day 3 – Paper Sack Race
Max decided to have a paper sack race with some of his buddies. Ole’ Woody got a little competitive at the end, but Max pulled off a win. Unfortunately my boys were pretty sick today (they’ve got the flu!!), so Brogan wasn’t as excited about Max as he has been. They’ll be better soon and be back in the holiday spirit.

Day 2 – Pirate Max finds his treasure!
Day 2 of our Elf on the Shelf had Max dressed like a pirate who found his treasure. Equipped with a treasure map and sword, Max certainly played the part. Brogan thought he was pretty silly, and Beckett wanted to play with all of his loot. Max’s presence has had Brogan on his best behavior – one reminder that Max is watching has Brogan stopping… and thinking… and choosing to behave. Can we have an elf all year round?!? Anyways, it’s been a fun start to this Christmas season! Can’t wait for all the other fun that Max has in store! Click here to see what else our elf has…

Max has returned! Day 1 – Excavating Candy
We came home today from our trip to Florida (more on that later) to find that our Elf on the Shelf Max has returned! He joined our family last Christmas and if last year was any indication, there will be lots of elf shenanigans going on this house again! Day 1 was Max excavating the leftover Halloween candy. I know, I know, how do we have any leftover Halloween candy? Well, we put it up so the boys couldn’t get into it and out of sight, out of mind, I suppose. Brogan was the first to see Max when he walked in and he was SO excited. He was excited…
