Elf on a Shelf

On Sunday night the kids were in the bathtub and the doorbell rang. I was in the bathroom with the kids and we could hear Tedd talking. In a few minutes he came in the bathroom with a wrapped gift for the kids. He told them that an elf brought it by from Santa Claus. When we got out and pjs on they opened it. It was ELF ON A SHELF. If you aren't familiar with Elf on a Shelf but have children you need to purchase one. It comes with a small toy elf and a book. The book explains that the elf watches the children and flies to the North Pole each night to report to Santa on the child's behavior. He flies back to the house early each morning and when the kids wake up they have to find him to see where he is hiding and watching. They LOVE it! This will be a tradition in our family for years to come!
