30 Days of Thanks~ #28 ~ the ELF on the SHELF!

Do you know of the book: the ELF on the SHELF? We do! I am THANKFUL for the innocent hearts and minds of children ~ especially during the holiday season!

The tradition is that a little pixie elf comes to your house on the Friday after Thanksgiving. She stays till Christmas Eve. Her mission or job is simple... she is there to be Santa's eyes and ears, to watch over the children and then go home to the North Pole and REPORT to Santa if they have been GOOD or BAD!

Cayden has just meet his little elf, her name is ALICE! Here he is posing on the shelf with his new little friend!

Sarah and Molly have had the same little elf visit for a couple of years now. They call her ABBY! ABBY moves from spot to spot every night... she surprises the girls each morning, as they look around for her! Sarah has made a "deal" with ABBY. If she is high on a shelf, the girls may not touch her, but, if she is low, where they can reach her, they may hold her and love on her a bit that day! Sarah and Molly are always a little sad on Christmas Eve, when they realize ABBY will be heading home to Santa! But for now, they are happy to report to me, that ABBY is at their house right NOW!

They show me how she sits so nicely on the shelf!
Here are some snazzy little elves...
just look at our ears!
Remember...
the little pixie elves will be WATCHING and LISTENING to every thing you say and do...

You better be good, for goodness sake!

Your "snazzy" elves remind me of that dancing elf Christmas card where you put your own pictures on the elves bodies! Love it! (Is that your new entertainment center they're posing on?)

This tradition of yours seems like a perfect way to get the best behavior from your Grand-kids. I love it all. Love the elf... love the photos of the kiddos.
