I will spare you 25 pictures of the placement of Buddy this December. I was thankful when Christmas finally decided to arrive because I have to tell you, Steven and I were getting very tired of thinking, planning, building, designing where Buddy was going to be placed every night. Sometimes, I will be honest, we just stuck him in a lamp shade and called it a night. I can't be creative for an entire month. Buddy has taught me that. These were some of the boys favorite locations this month.
Location 1: In a tree looking for, wait for it....BIGFOOT. I wished we could have found some small binoculars but we couldn't. Buddy was given a
flashlight and placed in a tree to find the elusive creature. Location 2: Eating Will's gingerbread house he made at school. I thought Will might be upset with Buddy for destroying a section of his house, but he wasn't. He just laughed and asked Buddy if it was tasty!
Location 3: Playing football. Of couse in this house playing football is as
common as looking for Bigfoot. Will was upset with Buddy right away because he noticed Buddy was sitting down. He said to him, "You can't make touchdowns sitting down. You have to get up and move! Here, let me show you some plays!" Oh geez! Location 4: Playing Memory. Will loves this game and got a big kick out of Buddy and George playing. He immediately went up to them and counted each
of their winnings. They had 3 each and were tied and he was happy with that. The game lasted about 2 hours more until Owen couldn't control himself any longer and had to "play" with Buddy. Buddy is not to to be touched so he had to move to a higher shelf in the house for the rest of the day. 
Location 5: Buddy toilet papered our Christmas tree! Oh, both boys loved this one. Buddy even had a strand of paper still stuck to his hand from his naughty adventures over the evening. Bad Buddy! Location 6 and 7: Buddy and his friends
decided one night to get a mean game of Poker on. He invited Bear, 
George, and Spongebob to play with him. I provided some snacks and drinks, Steven provided the chips and cards and they had a great night of poker playing. Bear even had to bring out the "hard drinks" as the night wore on because this Poker game was stressing him out. To find out what happened to the Poker game, just read the ending of Location 4 again and you will find out where Buddy had to move after a few hours of Poker playing. Location 8: Buddy was a bad elf AGAIN and
turned the milk BLUE! Of course, in our house if you know my boys at all you know why Buddy decided to make the milk blue. No other color in this household would do. The boys actually LIKED the blue milk so much they didn't want to use it and I had to go buy more milk. Fail Buddy Fail! Location 9: Buddy was a nice elf one night and drew
the boys favorite things. Steven worked hard on this one and I will not take any credit because I can hardly draw a decent stick person. The boys, in particular Owen, loved their drawings. Who wouldn't love a cool Spiderman drawing like that drawn for you by your very own elf? That's just super awesome! Hopefully next year we can come up with some more fun, naughty, and silly locations. For this year, I am just glad it is over:) Buddy has now flown back to the North Pole for another 11 months. The boys were sad but understood he had to go back home to his family. Now, on to my family and enjoying the rest of this wonderful break......Merry Christmas!
