This morning we were surprised by the return of Elfie! Zach was SO excited. Elfie brought donuts and a plate with a picture of Zach in an elf costume with his name on it. When Zach saw the plate and recognized his name, he exclaimed "Just what I always wanted!" Who knew?
In case you don't know about The Elf on the Shelf, here's a brief synopsis:
Every day until Christmas Eve, each family's scout elf watches over the children and then at night, once everyone goes to bed, the elf flies back to the North Pole to report back to Santa about what activities, good and bad, took place throughout the day. Before the family wakes up each morning, the scout elf flies back from the North Pole and hides. The Elf on the Shelf explains that elves get their magic by being named. Once the elf is named, the scout elf receives its special Christmas magic which allows it to fly to and from the North Pole. However, the magic might go if anyone touches the elf. On Christmas Eve when Santa comes, he brings the scout elf back to the North Pole with him for the year.
