Elf on the Shelf



Thanks to Jackie...we now have a new Christmas tradition for our family. She gave us, the Waydas, and the McClendons an early Christmas present called "Elf on the Shelf," you may have seen or heard about it. It's a book about the secret behind how Santa knows how all the children in the world behave. The book comes with an elf that becomes magic once you read the book and give him a name. Jake really wanted to name him Max, but then changed his mind. He is now Bob the Elf. Bob sits somewhere in our house every day and watches and listens to how Jake and Stevie behave. He then flies back to Santa every night to report and then reappears in the morning in a different spot in the house. Love it...it's working!

Our friends, the Derricks, also have an elf. They have named him Finny and their daughter loves to see Finny. Dave and I have decided to also use that tradition. It think it is great. Everytime that I see Ali she tells me where Finny is sitting that day and how he is being so good.

Cute Idea!
