December 2nd: Lost Elf

Well, the Elf on the Shelf is a big hit!! Addie woke up this morning and that was the first thing she asked Chris this morning; "I wonder if the Elf (whom she has named Hagen after a little boy in her classroom that she thinks is cute) has moved? Do you think he is in my room and is going to bite my toes?" She got up to find him sitting in the water/ice maker dispenser on the fridge door this morning. She thought it was so cool when she found him!! Every night if she has been good he brings her and Claire a little treat in their tree that counts down the 25 days till Christmas.

We had a little elf/Hagen scare tonight as mommy could not find him! I searched for 30 minutes for him. I didn't know the little booger would hide from adults either. I thought, great here we are 2 nights into it and we can't find him already!! After looking in the car, outside in the garage, then outside with a flashlight in the backyard in case Sallie the heeler took Hagen off, I found him back in the box he came in on the bookshelf!! I guess Addie did that, or he REALLY is magical : )

Had a good day over all. Lots to get done cleaning before Chris's work Christmas party here on Saturday night.

Good night all
