Eric, our elf on a shelf, has made his annual appearance. I thought that he would do better than the tooth fairy, but not so much. Oh how I wish this little elf could really fly. Kristen woke up (extra early) on Monday completely puzzled because Eric was in the same exact place as he was the day before. It just so happened that the kids were not good on Sunday. In fact, Lauren said at bedtime that she didn't think Santa was going to bring her any presents this year. I told Kristen that Eric was giving them a second chance to do better because he really liked them and wanted them to get presents. Doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of an elf on a shelf? But, I needed something so that is what I came up with. She seemed satisfied.
We are definitely getting into the Christmas spirit. We took the kids to go see Santa Claus. I think they enjoyed it....
Well, not so much. Who doesn't like Santa? He's a jolly old soul. We also did the video from PNP where you upload a picture of each kid and Santa has a special message for them. Of course the girls had been nice this year, but Santa said Dallas had been in between. He didn't care. He was busy running in circles in our living. He probably knows it doesn't matter what he does Santa will still bring him toys.
Only 17 days left until Christmas. Bring it on!
