Jaxon is always up to no good when we leave town. I guess the other toys weren’t with his shenanigans this weekend. Embie managed to lure Jaxon into Shortbread’s crate with his favorite drink…syrup.

Hopefully this will contain his crazy elf behavior until we return home. The kids almost didn’t find him. I had to send them on a wild goose hunt for a toy so that they could find him. They were happy to know he was being held captive so that he didn’t destroy the house while we were away lol.

Ole Jaxon…it made too much sense to pop the popcorn and get on the couch with the snack like last year. He decided to bring the movie to the popcorn this year.

Cool thing, he also brought the kids a movie to watch tonight. Elf! Another one of my favorite Christmas movies.

Now it should not be hard for the kids to find him this morning. But let’s see who find him first!

Feels a lot like home in the fridge for Jaxon. And he’s super close to the syrup, his favorite treat. The only reason I didn’t stick the straw in the syrup bottle was to not give my silly son ideas about drinking syrup lol.

It’s been a few hours since he’s been placed and neither of the kids have found him yet. I’ve been in and out of the fridge. Mistakenly left the fridge door open and they still haven’t seen him.

I wonder if my son will find him first again today. My daughter is consumed with school so she’s a little on autopilot until Christmas break.

16 days and counting…And I need to start wrapping gifts. I refuse to be up in the wee hours of the night trying to wrap gifts and running out of wrapping paper lol.

There’s 17 days left until Christmas. Next to the last box of Christmas gifts was delivered today. My son thinks they are boxes for work. I use to receive packages almost everyday but I’ve been a Budgeting Betty since we are moving soon so the packages have almost ceased completely.

Jaxon hid in plain sight this morning because the kids are always looking for him to terrorize or make a mess when they awake. They also rarely sit in the living room unless we are all watching something on TV with company.

Since I’m pup sitting, it forces me to awake a little earlier than normal because Shortbread has to potty. But that gives me time to situate Jaxon too. I’ve misplaced my calendar of elf placements so now I’m winging it lol. Stay tuned with whatever pops in my brain the morning of as I’m winging it just that close.

I hope you and yours are preparing for a wonderful holiday.

Well my kids are Godzilla fanatics! One day while out shopping my daughter found this old Eiffel Tower clock in a thrift shop. She knows how much I love Paris and cannot wait to visit with them in tow.

It needed quite a bit of TLC and to set it off, I spray painted it gold to match the decor in my bedroom. I still haven’t been able to find the battery but I love it all the same. I always love the gifts I receive from my children because I know it is truly from the heart and with much thought.

This elf staging wasn’t originally part of my chain of events for Jaxon but my son mentioned it a week ago. He said if he saw Jaxon on my Eiffel Tower he would jack him up lol.

It’s been a few hours since they woke up and neither one of the kids has found him yet. I wonder who will find him first today? My son is beating my daughter in the elf hunt by 2 days. They are so excited to see who gets the elf prize on Christmas Eve!

This morning the kids found Jaxon up in the tree hanging with my favorite ornament Who the Owl. I thought it would take the kids a while to find him because he sort of blended in with the ornaments. But my son found him first and had to scream to alert the entire house…

19 days until Christmas right? Whew…this is definitely a struggle year.
