"At holiday time Santa sends me to you. I watch and report on all that you do. My job's an assignment from Santa himself. I am his helper, a friendly scout elf." So this morning the boys awoke to our "elf on the shelf". And what a morning it was. "Ben" was waiting on the mantle with a book to explain how he "works". He will watch over the boys every day and then report to Santa each night. Every morning he will be back from the North Pole and be hiding in a new spot. We aren't allowed to touch him as this will cause his magic to go away! My dear little Owen is mesmerized by Ben! He can't hardly stand to be in the same room with him- I'm not sure if he's scared of the elf or scared of how "naughty" he's been :) This is the greatest tradition! Thanks Sara for filling me in! I wonder if Ben will tell Santa if I've been naughty or nice!

Oh how fun. So how did the boys arrive at the name, Ben?
Our elf's name is Sprinkles and my boys are very aware of him!!
