Dad-Of-Six Turned His Baby Into An Adorable 'Elf On The Shelf' And It's Brilliant
"All of our friends do the Elf on the Shelf, and I've always thought it was sort of creepy, but sort of fun - this idea of an elf coming to live in your home and moving around to different places."
If you're a parent (or even if you aren't, for that matter), you will know who the Elf on the Shelf is. And, Alan Lawrence, a father of six from Utah, has found a way to create the cutest little elf ever!
The photographer, who runs a blog called That Dad Blog, decided to turn his adorable 4-month-old son, Rockwell, into the naughty Christmas elf for a different take on the tradition. Alan's wife helped by making Rockwell's costume, and the rest is history!
"All of our friends do the Elf on the Shelf, and I've always thought it was sort of creepy, but sort of fun - this idea of an elf coming to live in your home and moving around to different places," Alan said. "And I'm like, what if it was a real elf?"
"And of course, being parents, we already have the cutest little 4-month-old. So we decided to make a fun series," Alan explained.
The fun dad plans to keep posting new photos up until Christmas. Alan is already the creator of another photo series featuring his son, who has Down Syndrome.
Alan's wife made Rockwell's adorable elf costume.
The cheeky little elf has been caught getting into all sorts of mischief.
“He’s just a good-natured kid, he’ll be laughing and looking up at me, exactly what we need for the shot.”
“It’s almost like he knows what we’re trying to accomplish.”
What a cutie!
