Hoho The Elf

     We had a special visitor from the North Pole cook up a delicious breakfast for us this morning. When Connor saw his new elf and all the food surrounding him, he was so excited! He immediately put a muffin, donut, mini pancake, slice of bacon, and apple slice on his plate with the biggest smile on his face. 

In case you haven't heard about the elf on a shelf tradition, here the story that came with him:

This small little elf has a special job to do

as he sits on a shelf watching over you.

He goes back to Santa each night to say

who's been naughty or nice each winter day.

So make sure to find him in a new place each day

so he'll be sure to tell Santa to bring toys Christmas Day!

There are also two rules that children have to follow: 1) They can't touch him or he will lose his magic. We can already tell Connor is going to have a hard time keeping his hands off him, but so far he's done okay. 2) They have to come up with a name for him. It was a little hard getting a name out of Connor. He kept calling him Hoho, so that's his official name. I actually love that he came up with it all on his own.

 I wonder where Hoho will be tomorrow?
