Adventures with Diamond

We've been having fun this year with Diamond, our Elf on a Shelf.  We don't do the Santa thing in our home but our elf has brought some extra excitement to our home.  Diamond arrived last year and made daily appearances in different places throughout our home.  Priya had fun trying to find where he wound up each day.  This year he alternates between showing up in random places and bringing fun treats and experiences for the kids.  Josiah has been enjoying him as well.  Here is a glimpse of some of what Diamond has been up to so far...

One morning Diamond set up a fun Christmas table and brought the kids a North Pole breakfast complete with donuts, colorful cereal and candy canes.  This was an incredibly special treat for the kids since they never get to have sugary breakfasts.

Another morning Diamond was feeling like a funny prank so he toilet-papered our Christmas tree!  Priya thought it was hilarious.

A marshmallow bubble bath in Priya's doll bathtub was another fun appearance by Diamond.

Diamond left "magic seeds" and a special note for the kids one morning...

The kids had to plant the "magic seeds" in sugar and wait to see what would grow.

 The next morning they found that cookie-pops with Christmas trees had grown from their "magic seeds"!

Who knows what Diamond will do next?  It's definitely fun waiting to see what else he has up his sleeve.
