Pinned it, Made it! Monday ~ Week 20 ~

It’s time again (already) for Pinned it, Made it! Monday. It seems like Pinterest is just oozing wonderful images and ideas. I’ve pinned so many more than I can possibly get to this year. But it’s nice having them collected there, I must say. It’s wonderful to just pull up a board when I want to make use of an idea.

This week, I’m sharing our Elf on a Shelf variation. We don’t make a big deal about Santa because we're trying to keep the focus on Jesus. So our twist with the Elf is that he’s like a fairytale or a book that we read. His name is Pete and he likes to play hide and seek with Luke. He hides and Luke finds him the next morning when he wakes up. Pete is a little on the mischievous side and likes to have fun!  (On a side note about this:  We are also reading the Bible and talking to Luke throughout the Christmas season about the true meaning of Christmas and teaching him to give to others). 

We pulled several ideas from Pinterest and I have a board there called Elf on a Shelf if you want to check them out. And we came up with a few of our own too.

Pete arrived last Saturday on December 1st when Luke opened the TV entertainment center and Luke was holding a Christmas DVD of Veggie Tales.  (We forgot to get a pic of that before he grabbed it).  :)

But here are the adventures of Pete (the elf) so far:


Pete the Elf was cruising with the barbies.

Pete likes putting together puzzles.

Pete went for a boat ride in the bathroom sink.  :)

 

He was riding the sheep.

Ole Pete was experimenting with shaving.  :)

Hanging out.  :)  Pete was trying out his gymnastics on the pot rack.

Pete likes to build.  He's my kind of man.  :)  And look, it's a log cabin! 

Pete got carried away brushing his teeth.

Pete likes the iPad
