Yesterday December 5th our cute little elf Finally arrived to our house. The boys had been hearing all the fun stories of their friends elf's and really wanted one of their own too.
Kaylin got home from school and the package was sitting on the door step all wrapped up from Santa...he ran in and showed me and said it was from Santa to him and kiptin and if he could please open it. Their faces lit up and he was so excited that he finally got his own elf delivered to his door!
(The elf on the shelf is a magical elf that Santa sends to our house so he can help Santa out with watching over the kids and reporting back to him each night about how the kids acted towards others that day!)
We opened the box and read the book together and the boys decided on a name "Rocket"!
Kaylin told me that in his class they all wrote a letter to Santa and kaylin had wrote and asked if he could please have an elf of his own sent to our house (i didn't know he had done this) when he told me it melted my heart knowing he wanted him so bad!!
Each night Rocket uses his magic to fly back to the north pole to report back to Santa. when he returns home he lands somewhere new and we are not allowed to touch him because it might take away all his magic. The boys woke up before us and were already looking around the house for him, they looked high and low and said they couldn't find him anywhere. He is a tricky elf they said...finally they spotted him high up on the ceiling fan watching down on them!!!
Each day i will try to show what our new little family member is doing around our house this Christmas season. we are so excited to have this new little tradition in our house...seeing the boys so excited and full of Christmas Magic is amazing. I love this time of year!
Here are pictures from our little Rocket!
