Special Delivery!

My new friend, Angela, gave me this amazing idea! I am excited to see if it works. We had a special delivery today from Santa. He sent his special elf, Frank, to watch over my kids. He included a letter that explained that Frank will be watching the kids everyday to make sure they are making good choices. Each night he will fly back to the North Pole to let Santa know if they should be on the naughty or nice list. Then everyday, Frank will be somewhere else in the house watching over them. (I guess they make real "Elf on the Shelf" products, but I just went to Target and bought an ornament/angel thing, hopefully it will work). Dani getting excited
Brayden can't wait to open the gift!


Ellie is all smiles!










Brayden processing all of this information! Is this a good thing?





Brayden deciding where Frank should spend his first day at our house.







Way up high, so he can see everyone! (He's on the Santa's feet).

Thanks for the great idea Angela, I may owe you BIG time! Will this work throughout the year? We may have special Frank appearances!
As I'm typing this downstairs Brayden is still thinking.... He asked, "Can Frank see us when we're downstairs?" I said, "Probably, he is pretty magical!"

oh my gosh that's awesome!!!! I love your creativity...and the look on B.'s face is priceless!!!! I hope this works for your kiddos- you know what my only gripe about the whole thing is? I keep forgetting to move him at night and then he's in the same place in the morning and I run to change him to a new spot before the kids wake up. It's hard to remember to do it every night...ha! Glad to have help spread the word about the Elf- let me know how it goes in your house! :-)

What a great idea. I should do that too! Your fun day of getting Santa pics sounded like a day I would probably have too:) Your a good sport. Making memories is what it's all about right?
