This morning when Luke woke up Mark told him that he heard an elf in our house last night. While I got breakfast ready Luke and Mark went looking through the house for the elf and found him sitting on our kitchen table. The Elf had a note and book for Luke. We sat down and ate a North Pole breakfast while Mark read the book to Luke.
The first job in the book was name our Elf. Luke first suggested his friends Kash and Izzy. We told him to think of a Christmas name and he said, "Fine, how about Jolly?" So now our Elf is Jolly. He'll be watching Luke and reporting to Santa each night. Luke has been struggling with yelling at us lately. Today when he yelled at us we reminded him that Jolly was watching and would tell Santa tonight. He started to cry and asked if he could give Jolly a hug and tell him sorry... don't mind mom and dad that he just yelled at! Hopefully Jolly will help over the next few weeks and the magic doesn't wear off!

This is the perfect age for the Elf on the Shelf. It really puts them in place and they try their hardest to be good. Wait until they are 4, doesn't have that same magic.
We do the North pole breakfast too.
So cute!! LOVE ELF ON THE SHELF!! Can't wait to see where Jolly is hiding! :)
We did Elf on the shelf this year too ours is Bouncy Crazy-Legs. He came in a box on December 1. Weston has been really sassy lately and it took him until yesterday to start being sassy again he was being so good. Bouncy brings little treats if he is good too so that helps. They love finding him every day and looking for a treat.
