Elf on the Shelf: Day 16 Adventures

Today Buddy put himself in a jar

so Grant could take him with anywhere! 

\

Grant didn't just take him anywhere.... 

... he took him everywhere! 

He played & ate with him... 

... he watched a movie with him! 

We were able to go to the Portland Raceway to

see the Winter Wonderland lights.... 

We let Grant out of his seat so he could see the lights...

He held Buddy up so he could look at the lights, too!

Then we had him come up front so he and Buddy

could get a better look! 

Grant had a great time with his Buddy!

At the end of the day he gave Buddy a hug 

and was off to bed....

Wonder what that Silly Elf will be up to next.... 

Elf on the Shelf: Day 16

We have really enjoyed having our little Elf around....

... but today he really out did himself!

This has probably been Gran'ts favorite day....

Our little Buddy put himself in a jar!

Grant - "What a silly, silly Elf!!"

We discovered a note... 

... "But, Mommy, I can't read!!" 

Don't worry Lil' Willis, Daddy will read it for you.... 

it says that Buddy wants to go see the Christmas lights

at the Portland Winter Wonderland race track....

Buddy told Grant that he put himself in a jar

so that Grant could take him with us!

Grant literally leaped for joy, luckily I got it with my camera...

He was so excited to carry Buddy with him all day long! 

Mommy Willis will document all the awesome 

places Grant takes Buddy today.... 

Christmas Fun Part 2: Flirting with Dancing Elves

After the tree lighting, we headed down 

to CrossFit on Main Street to get in line to meet Santa!!!!

 While in line we were treated to free cookies, hot cocoa, apple cider and entertainment

Santa's Elves entertained the crowd by singing...

eventually they invited the kids to get involved!

Lil' Willis knows how to have a good time! 

He was doing the boggy with Christmas music

Lil' Willis is a charming young boy! 

Let the flirting with dancing elves begin.... 

For some reason he thought that her giving him

high fives with both hands was super hilarious! 

After that he just couldn't let her go....

He had stars in his eyes! 

Lil' Willis loves to sing.... 

even when he doesn't know the words! 

This was the end of the song and it was a big note...

The girls adored him...

and who wouldn't?

.... To Be Continued!

Christmas Fun Part 1: Tree Lighting

We took our Lil' Willis to the Tigard Main Street Christmas Tree Lighting tonight and he had a blast! 

Santa & Mrs. Claus arrived in police cars....

This was the coolest way Santa could have arrived for 

a four-year boy who loves police cars and shiny lights! 

It was raining but we're true 

Oregonians so that didn't stop us! 

I improvised with my scarf to try and save my hair....

(Keyword = TRY) 

Santa & Mrs. Claus gave a shout out to the kids....

and then at the count of three

1.....2.....3........

The lights were on!

Aren't they just wonderful?

...Yeah, I was a little disappointed in the

... ummmmm... 

lack of variety...

... But Lil' Willis thought it was cool and that's all that matters!
