Elfie driving the John Deere:)
This year is the first year that Braden has really understood Christmas and Santa Claus. He is trying so hard to be a good boy so Santa will bring him a Batman Cave, which is what he consistently says he wants. Our elf came a little early this year, because Braden was being a stinker at home and we needed his assistance to help us out. The night we read the book Elf on the Shelf, Braden was SOOOO excited! He named his elf Elfie and as soon as he woke up the next morning, he jumped out of bed to find where Elfie was hiding. Every morning after he finds him, he says, "It's magic!" His eyes just twinkle with excitment and you can see the Christmas magic happening. He LOVED seeing Santa Claus and sitting on his lap too! When he does something good or is a big helper he asks me to go tell Elfie he is being good. Then he says, "Thank you, Mama!" Christmas really is such a magical time this year! I love seeing it through his eyes and feeling like a kid again:)

Love it.
A friend of mine gave me an idea and we tried it.....I spread flour out and made it look like the elf was making snow angels. Then you make feet prints to his new hiding spot.
Super cute....my kids loved it. but they are a little older....so maybe save the idea.
I love this tradition! We tried to go buy one last night but they were sold out - definitely getting it for next year.
