The Adventures of Tree Hopper



Our elf on the shelf, Treehopper arrived the day after Thanksgiving and marked the 4th year that he came to live with our family between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Every night he flies back to the North Pole to report to Santa but he is always back in our house hiding somewhere for the boys to find him when they wake up the next morning.  He has been a wonderful addition to our family during the holidays, and the boys truly love that he is here looking in on them.

This year, Tree Hopper was a bit more adventurous!  Instead of hiding in the normal places like he has done the past few years, we noticed he started getting in to things this year while we were all asleep.

His first night back in the house


The boys could not believe it when they woke up to find Tree Hopper had made a zip line from the kitchen to the breakfast nook.

 


I guess he was having a "snowball fight"


He even turned the milk pink


This is where the boys found him the night he toilet papered their rooms


Midnight Snack??



Snow Angels


The night he dried out my mascara


No explanation needed


Relaxing in a bubble bath


Treehopper and the other elf's around town were quite the topic of conversation this year.  I can not count how many days Christian would get in the car and tell me about what his friend's elves did that night.  It was truly heartwarming to watch the magic he brought into our house each day.
