Elf on the Shelf..

I wish I had batteries for my camera right now... will have to get some soon.. because some of the hiding places that "buddy the elf" has hidden in the last week have been hilarious!!!!  He is our new tradition in our home this season... Buddy the elf on the shelf... we LOVE buddy!! He flies home to the North Pole every nigth to "report" to Santa Claus if Miss Natalie has been naughty or nice... and then he flies home early in the morning and hides in a different spot every morning.. so far he's been on the light fixture in the kitchen, on the curtain rod hanging upside down, in a bottle of sand that I have on a shelf, on our ledge watching over the phone and this morning in the Christmas tree itself.... she LOVES getting up every morning to see where he is hiding this time.. and if I say, Ohhhh buddy is watching, she usually changes her 'tude and starts acting like my sweet angel again... They have an elf on the shelf at school as well (which I LOVE) named Sparkles... she hides every morning too and reports back to Santy as well... ;)  I love that they have one at school too so that she is "being watched" at all possible points during the day! She loves Buddy... and Buddy loves her! ;)  
P.S.  I will post a picture or two of Buddy when I get the camera working... ;)
