The Elf is Here!


Last week Santa answered Alex's letter requesting an elf for the holiday season. Our magical elf is quite mischievous overnight and gets into all sorts of trouble! He is here until Christmas Eve when Santa will pick him up and take him back to the North Pole. Most importantly, he is here to keep an eye on us and help Santa decide if we've been "naughty" or "nice" this year.

Each night we leave "Elfie" on the counter with some water (to remind him of melting snowflakes), crackers (sounds like the crunching snow) and magical snowflakes and once we are all asleep he comes to life! One morning he was in the freezer, another he had climbed into Alex's school bag (we think because he wanted to go to show and tell) and this morning Alex found him on his pillow! I think we are going to have lots of fun with Elfie as we prepare for Christmas!
