Elf Andrew Antics

Meet Andrew Doodle! Mimi and Dunka sent him to the boys from Santa and the North Pole.  The boys are so excited about Christmas this year and it is a joy to see their enthusiasm this holiday season.  Bradley picked Andrew because he reminded us of Uncle Andrew and Gavin picked Doodle for a silly elf name. The boys love to see where Andrew pops up every morning after his long flight back from the North Pole to report to Santa whether they have been Naughty or Nice that day.  Here are a few places we have found him. Remember, no two elves are alike and you may have a elferiffic elf at your place popping up in crazy ways.  Andrew does what he can ;)

He likes to be at very good vantage points around the house to see and hear all that goes on.

He has also hung from the chandelier and curtains.  If he is too low then I do have to move him.  I know it risks losing his magic but only mommy can move him out of the way from Easton.  Easton doesn't care for Andrew too much.  If he gets a hold of him he rips his hat off and throws him.  If he can’t reach him then he just points his finger at him and yells at Andrew.  I think we know who’s on the naughty list!!

The boys loved eating the marshmallows before breakfast.  Silly Andrew thought they were bubbles or something?! He just really felt like a nice bath that night.

I guess we will see Andrew a few more mornings before he returns to the North Pole for good.  We sure do enjoy this magical elf.
