Boy the Elf

I caved and got the kids an Elf on the Shelf! I was super excited after reading about what everyone was having their elf get into - especially on Pinterest!! SOO... he made his first appearance this morning!

S was floored when she came out and found that an elf had brought her a "North Pole Breakfast"!! He wrote the kids a letter about himself and even brought them little sock gifts because you must keep your feet warm at the North Pole! We ate a lot of sweets, drank hot chocolate and I read her the story of her new little elf friend. She was hesitant at first and would not name him and was scared to go look for him. But, after a bit of convincing that he was a nice elf, she named him "Boy" and went searching. C was the one to actually find him hanging out in the Christmas tree!

C doesn't understand anything about this elf so Boy has to make sure that he stays way out of his reach so he won't loose his magic and S have a complete meltdown that she won't be getting presents from Santa this year!

Stay tuned and see what kind of messes Boy gets himself into this year!

So your elf breakfast idea is AWESOME!!! My child is lucky to get breakfast at all, much less such a fancy one. Good job!
