Look who's back

Our Elf on the Shelf returned the day after Thanksgiving.  When we were in Disney World, I asked Aunt Betty to check our mail for us.  She went to the house the Friday after Thanksgiving and found Buddy sitting on the couch eating M&Ms and Oreos and drinking soda.  She took a picture and sent it to me.

When the kids saw the picture, John said "Ask Aunt Betty make a letter to Buddy and let him know we are in Disney World!"  Gillian said "Him spilled his nemems!"  Aunt Betty let us know that she left Buddy a note and that she would check back later to make sure he wasn't making a mess.  John told Aunt Betty "If he isn't there tomorrow then we will let you know if he is in our room!"  The next day Buddy wasn't in our room.  But Aunt Betty searched our whole house and finally found Buddy.  He had a little message for the kids.

  The next day (our last day in Disney), Aunt Betty went to our house and found Buddy with a note.

 

John was very curious, he kept saying "I wonder what's inside the package!"  And "I can't believe that Mickey sent him a letter!" 

 

On Monday, December 2nd, when we arrived home from our trip, Buddy was waiting to greet us. 

 

 

John was so excited to see Buddy and even though Buddy was high above him, he said "That's what was in the box!  Mickey sent him ears!" 

 

On Tuesday, December 3rd, we found Buddy with all the new toys that John and Gillian got on their trip.  Buddy was still wearing his Mickey ears.  Daddy and I think that Buddy was asking the toys if the kids were good on their vacation.

 

 

The next day, the kids found Buddy in the kitchen.  He made a little swing.  Gillian said "Him made it out of toilet paper!"

 

 

On Thursday morning, the kids found Buddy.  He was having a race with some cars and toys.  Buddy was in the lead!
