Tonight our Elf on the Shelf returned! I will admit, I have a love/hate with the Elf. I think the idea of him is sooo cute, however trying to remember to move him daily does me in. And then I see on Facebook and Pinterest all these ideas for making the Elf be "mischievous" every night and I completely shut down. I think last year he moved twice. And he did decorate the breakfast area one night. But that is it.
This year, since Kade understands a lot more I am going to try my hardest to get more "into" the Elf thing and at least move him every night and maybe, MAYBE he can get into some trouble. But I will not put the pressure on us to go all out for a silly little Elf. Our Elf likes to arrive in the evening and ring the doorbell for the kids to answer. He was sitting on top of his book with two goodie bags for the kids! The kids went NUTS when the answered the door. Kade shouted "I can't believe Santa got this for me for Christmas!" HAHA! We came in, looked in the goodie bags (nothing special just some matching jams, popcorn, and candy) then Bryan read them the book. Afterwards, Kade decided to name him Clyde! The kids showered, put on their new jams, we popped popcorn and watched the Elf on the Shelf movie.
Bryan and I have loved this Christmas season more than any other. Watching them together and seeing the magic through their eyes is truly one of the greatest things ever. They are just precious beyond belief and we are soaking up every last minute of the magic.
Hey Clyde!
Kade just COULD NOT BELIEVE that SANTA sent him pajamas that said "Santa's Little Helper." He just could not believe that!
Can I please keep them this little forever?
