Meet Buddy!

Last year we started the Elf on the Shelf tradition when a scout elf comes to stay with us during December to keep an eye on the kids.  The tale tells that the elf flies to the North Pole every night to report to Santa.  The Elf may never be touched or he will lose his magic.We named our Elf Buddy, sometimes he is found playing tricks on the kids. Unfortunately our Elf did get touched:(   He had to leave our house and go to the Elf hospital in the North Pole for a couple days. Santa gave him some Elf medicine to get his magic back.    Lukie loves Buddy and already misses him!

Every year Buddy brings us a North Pole breakfast when he comes to stay.

Some other things we caught our Elf doing.....

In the cookie jar with Elf Kisses, playing connect 4 with a snowman, Writing on our mirror (naughty Buddy), being a part of the Nativity.

 We have a spiritual Elf:) reading the story of Jesus birth from the bible,  Superman flying with a cape from the light, writing on the eggs and turning the milk green, toilet papered the tree, and made a snow angel in powdered sugar.
