Our Elf made his appearance the morning after Thanksgiving but, he had a rough first day. :) James insisted on writing a letter to Santa and sending it back to the North Pole with Mr. Elf last night.
Dear Mr. Elf,
I am so sorry I knocked Mr. Elf down when I touched the stockings. I want Mr. Elf to hide in a really hard place tomorrow. Thank you for sending him to us. Please give him his magic back!
Your friend,
James Gebhardt
I ended up writing the letter for James but he insisted on me writing down EXACTLY what he said. He was very serious about it and worried Mr. Elf would lose his magic! James named Mr. Elf two years ago when he was 2. It was between Beckett and Mr. Elf and Mr. Elf won.
This morning the boys woke up about an hour earlier than usual because they were so excited to go find where Mr. Elf was hiding! So far they are on their best behavior because Mr. Elf reports everything to Santa each night. Now if only Mr. Elf could help with potty training!
