Jingle's antics these last couple of years

Can you believe how close Christmas is???  More than likely it's going to sneak up on me and it'll be time to decorate ( I CAN'T wait to decorate! I got a 9ft tree for $20 on Craigslist after Christmas last year and I'm dying to decorate it!) and start our Jingle antics up again.  I've been pinning away like crazy for ideas this year.  I already have a running list of things I want to try and do with our Elf and I'm excited for them!  We've done Elf on the Shelf for two years now and my goal has been to not repeat anything.  Even though we lived in our old house the first year and this house the next year.  I'm thinking this Christmas it might be ok to repeat a couple of things from the first house since Natalia might not remember all of them anyway.  So I've decided to create a post with pictures of our past Jingle Antics to have something where they are all together and I can reference this year.

These pictures in our old house aren't as great, and I wasn't as creative.  It was more about just moving her around to fun places for Natalia to find.

Then we moved into our new home, Natalia was a lot more into it, and I got a little more creative with my ideas. 

Probably my most favorite idea so far, Jingle turned Natalia's My Little Pony's into reindeer

Goodbye message to the girls

This year we'll have our traditional Welcome Jingle breakfast with our reindeer pancakes etc.  I was worried about finding jammies for all three, since in the past the girls jammies have matched.  When I ordered our awesome shirts for Disneyland this gal was also doing a Christmas jammie preorder... and they are adorable!  Plus she embroiders them with initials, so I went head and preordered some.  Can't wait to get them!
