There was a knock at our door last Saturday night
And Brayden answered it and he found a present sitting there
He was super excited so he brought it inside
"Brayden, this is all the way from the North Pole!!!"
From Santa!!!
Brayden opened up a letter from Santa
and Mommy read it to him
And then it was time to see what was inside
Tyler got excited about the wrapping paper but Brayden did most of the work
It was a little elf that Santa sent us
We had to think of a name for him and Brayden chose Elfie
Then we read the book that came with him that told us all about this special elf 
The elf spends all his days with us watching to see what we are doing and then every night he uses his magic and goes back to the North Pole to report back to Santa if we've been naughty or nice. Then in the morning we wake up and have to search for the elf because he will be in a new spot for the next day.
We've been doing this for a few days now and it has been SO fun. The first thing Brayden does in the morning is search for Elfie and see where he is hiding this time. And Guy and I are having fun "helping" Elfie find new places to hide and leaving little notes and things with him for the kids. Plus, its been a geat bargaining tool...all I have to say is "Brayden, Elfie is watching and he's gonna tell Santa about that" and it works every time. In fact, yesterday I overheard Brayden telling Tyler that he better stop messing up his toys because Elfie could see him and would tell Santa and Santa wouldn't be very happy. So funny!!
Anyways, its cute and its a fun new tradition to do every Christmas so I just thought I would share!!
