Are you one of the many lucky families to have a little mischief maker join your house, every year around Christmas?!?!  We are! Zippy, the Elf joined our family three years ago.  While I love having Zippy join our family for the month of December, I do not enjoy trying to remember what he has done and what he hasn’t done!  It gets to be a bit confusing at times!  The thing that makes me the most frustrated is, my boys can ALWAYS remember what he has done!  If i’m going to keep this magic alive, I had to get more organized and prepared for Zippy!  KEEP. A. CALENDAR.  Everyday I write down what Zippy did and then I keep it for next year.

The thing that makes me the most frustrated is, my boys can ALWAYS remember what he has done!

 

 

 

Over the last few weeks I’ve been scouring Pinterest looking for some fun and eventful yet easy shenanigans for Zippy to get into.  Check out what I found:
