You know how some parents get crazy with this whole Elf on the Shelf fiasco? I mean, come on, moving the elf from one location to the next, every night, while trying to keep up some level of creativity, all after the kids have gone to bed, but before they can succumb to their own pillows? It sounds miserable to me. Mainly because of the children part. It definitely has nothing to do with the Elf part. Because that part is definitely right up my alley.
I start planning for Reuben’s (our elf) trip to our house months in advance. Somehow I’ve upped the expectations to almost an impossible level. The first year Reuben visited my husband, he couldn’t get enough. Since then, each year has brought even more interesting antics. If you’d like to see Reuben’s previous year highlights, check out this post from last year.
So before we gear up into a new season of Reuben, let’s take a look through Reuben’s trip last year, starting with my favorite:
We went to Mexico for Christmas last year, and there was no way we were leaving Reuben behind. He had a lot of fun on all of his Mexican adventures:

I don’t know who Ruben is, but I want to take him with me to the Villages in Florida. Maybe I will finally have a little luck with the ladies. That is one big party.

Hahaha Reuben is definitely a party! Last year he was a little mild compared to years prior!

OMG Shauna, I laughed so hard I snorted coffee this morning! LOL
I also had to send this to my sister since her new boyfriend started her with the ELF also – this IS much better than her FB posts for the kids!
Darn it, I’m sure “I” will have to do one of this Elf’s too now.

OMG THE BREAKING BAD ONE

LOL, this is hilarious! My personal favs were Reuben with the Kardash spoof mag cover and as Walt ready to get his cook on in the BB scene. Very creative and fun!
