MARBLES

Braxton and Mason went into their bedroom to put pj's on, and came running out a few seconds later.  They were both so excited, jumping up and down, and talking so fast that we didn't have any idea what was going on.  Finally we understood they wanted us to follow them to their room.  And there we found him, our elf on the shelf.

Mason is the one who thought of the name MARBLES.  So adorable.

Below are pictures of some of the silly things Marbles did while he visited us this year.  Some mornings it was obvious he was making a valiant effort in being fun and creative. Other mornings it was clear he just picked a random spot to land.

This was a favorite.  Playing OLD MAID with Handy Manny.  They thought it was hilarious that Manny had the OLD MAID card.  Braxton and Mason raced out of their room every morning to see who would be the first to spot Marbles.  They were very good to never touch him, and were always quick to tell friends, HANDS OFF.  We loved having Marbles with us through the holidays, but I hope he doesn't come quite as early next year.
