Our Elf on the Shelf antics for 2013

This year, hubby and I decided not to bother bringing out Muggins, our Elf on the Shelf. To be honest, we just couldn't be bothered, and we thought the kids wouldn't notice his absence. Boy were we wrong. Mid December, Eme wrote a note to Muggins asking him to come back! Poor Andrew had to turn the house inside out to find him so we could grant our daughter's Christmas wish. Here's cheeky Muggins doing what he does best...

Twerk it! After reading Eme's letter, Muggins decides to arrive with a bang.
(or should that be bangerz?)

He's not the Messiah, he's just a very naughty boy!
Muggins kicks out the baby Jesus from the Fisher Price nativity set.
Joseph and Mary are not impressed.

Muggins makes a visit to the Hammock District...fashioning a place to swing
from a doily and twine. He's nothing but resourceful.

Muggins certainly is bringing the joy this festive season.

Muggins is a thrill seeker...taking a ride on the ceiling fan.
He could at least dust it while he's up there!

Lesson no. 1. Do not mess with the Skylanders!
It's not yet known what he did to anger them so.

Following the previous night's drama, Muggins seeks out the company of gentler toys
Muggins and Bullseye get a little Nintendo DS action in.

The kids have been so good, Muggins rewards them with a new Christmas movie to watch.

Poor Eme has been struck down with a virus,
so Muggins decides to keep watchful eye over her while she sleeps.

Muggins secret night life has been revealed!
Pink really is his colour.

Muggins becomes trapped inside Nanna's cabinet while checking out
the Christmas tree decoration Eme has made.

What's an Elf's favourite music? Christmas carols of course!
Though, "Twisted Christmas" is a little unorthodox.

The kids have loved having Muggins in the home again. Hopefully he can visit again next year!!

Do you have an Elf on the Shelf? What antics has he been up?
