The Adventures of Jolly

Our elf, Jolly, has made his way right into our home and into Owen's heart!  He loves Jolly and each morning, he runs downstairs calling, "Jolly!  Jolly!  Where are you Jolly?"  I think he'll be sad on Christmas that Jolly had to stay at the North Pole.  We didn't really use Jolly to "threaten" him to be good, we had him go tell Jolly when he did something nice.  His favorite thing to tell Jolly was, "I no go pee in my pants Jolly!"

 I should have taken more photos of Jolly's resting spots, but I didn't think about it until the last few days.  Jolly has turned up on the lamp, in the Christmas tree, on a toy motorcycle, by our stockings, holding baby Jesus from our nativity set, in a wreath, baking with spices, eating Cheerios (he even wrote HI OWEN in Cheerios on the counter that day!), hanging from a light over the island....what a crazy elf!  Here are a few other funny spots that Jolly has been.

Trying to reel in the BIG one!
