DOVE FAMILY

Elf on a Shelf is at our house this year and it really makes it a magical experience for the whole family. Each year Santa sends an elf to different homes to "watch" over the kids (sounds creepy I know)! At night he reports back to Santa and tells him how the children are doing and flies back before the kids wake up and Elf finds a new spot for the day. Matthew more than Julia is truly mesmorized at how the Elf magical flies at night and in the morning he has to find the Elf. Julia though- you can't fool her...she told me one morning that Daddy moved Elf! But it's fun to have a little extra christmas magic in our house. The kids enjoy looking for him each morning (that is as long as mom and dad don't forget the night before)!

Elf on a Shelf was on television the night before Thanksgiving and the kids loved the show. I'm sure it will come back on again before Christmas!
