Our elves arrived yesterday…  We came home from Target to find them sitting under our tree.  At first, we were not sure of what their purpose was, but after reading the book we realized they are Santa’s helpers, sent to be his eyes and ears to decide whether or not our children will be on the naughty or nice list.  I think we already know the answer to that question! 

Gigi was a little bit nervous at first, so she wrote a note to the elves last night asking if they would be causing mischief or being nice.  She could hardly go to sleep as she was full of anticipation for what their antics would be.  They answered that they would be naughty if the kids were naughty, and sweet and kind if the kids are also sweet and kind.  I think that made her feel better.   In fact, i know it made her feel better!  This morning she was so excited to tell her friends about what she found this morning that she could hardly eat her breakfast!

And what did she find?  Upon entering the rumpus room this morning, they found that the elves had set up a whole Christmas Parade!  Many of the toys in our house came to watch as Snowflake and Snowman made their way down Santa Claus Lane!  Snowflake rode in the Barbie car while Snowman rode Barbie’s noble steed.  Jude is looking forward to spending his day parading with his toys while Guinevere’s mind is in overdrive, imagining what those crazy elves are planning next…  We’ll keep you posted!
