Carlos Strikes Back Every Night!

Here comes Carlos the elf again! One night, he simply hid inside of Daddy's guitar:)

And another night, he hid with the Christmas decorations on the fireplace mantel.

And another night, he got one of Jessica's little dollhouses. He inside of it and poked his head out the front door.

Look at what the crazy elf did after that! He rolled our little fiber optic Christmas tree by the fireplace! Oh gee!

After all of these nights in December, Carlos kept hiding in the rooms downstairs. Jessica wrote him a letter and asked if he would please hide somewhere upstairs. So finally he did. He went inside Jessica's bedroom and slept next her baby doll in the bed Jessie made. Carlos made a bed for himself out of a kleenex box. So Jessie finally found him upstairs like she wanted!

This morning we woke up. Carlos was still hiding in Jessica's bedroom. This time, he squeezed himself in between in the blinds on her window.

On a little side note, Jessie and I had a blast playing Girl Talk: the 1D game! Yep, Jessica ended up winning fair and square. She is a true 1D Fan!

Jessie enjoyed her bubble bath after the game. She loves her bedroom slippers and stylish robe.

It sure looked like Jessica forgot to drain the tub last night. Funny, I had cooked spaghetti for dinner that night and Carlos got into the sauce jar I used, cleaned it out, and hid inside of it. He put himself and the jar in the bath tub and was floating on the water. He even managed to to get Jessie's mermaid dolls in the bath with him. Carlos must have a thing for mermaids!

Jessie's crazy elf: Carlos

One night, Carlos knew Jessie would spend the night with Nana's the next day because he heard the whole family talk about it. Jessica wanted to take Carlos with her, but knew she couldn't touch him because he would lose his magic. So he hid inside of a clear pitcher with a lid. Carlos knew Jessie could take Carlos with her if he got inside some kind of a container. Just to be festive, he put some Christmas ornaments in the pitcher with him.

Another night, Carlos was found hanging on to one of our family pictures in the dining room....

And then the mischievous elf got into Jessica's Winter coloring books and was coloring in them...

Finally came Christmas Eve morning....He put himself in one of our Christmas gift bags and put it under our little fiber optic tree. He left a note for Jessica saying he would miss her and he will see her again next Christmas. I think Jessie hates the last night Carlos is here for another whole year. She will miss him too!
