The girls were in the kitchen after school yesterday doing homework. Garrett and I were in the kitchen as well when there was a knock on the door. We went to look and no one was there, just a package addressed to the girls. The return address was The North Pole Express Mail!! They were shocked to see it, really, a package straight from the North Pole!?!! How did it get there?? Magic, the mail lady? We just don’t know?? They open it and inside was this…
It came with a story book explaining what our new special elf was sent to do. It says it is a scouting elf that works directly for Santa. He is sent to listen and watch us, then magically flies home each night to report to his boss, Santa. The good AND the bad, he tells him everything!! This was a big shocker to especially for Rylan since just the day before she didn’t have a great day at school. Maybe Santa saw that and sent this special elf for just that reason?? Our elf comes back to our house each morning and is in a different spot. It took a little bit for the girls to locate him this morning. He was hanging high on the wall in the kitchen. I could hear Rylan screaming “Telly!!! Tellly!!!! There he IS!!! He came back!!” Oh, and we had to name him, Telly is what they picked since he “Tells” on them to Santa! haha One important rule in the book, you must never, ever touch Telly or he’ll lose his magical powers :( This could be a tough rule since Rylan really wants to touch him.
This little Elf is so cute and fun for the girls. I just wish Santa would of sent him years ago when Hailey was little. I think I’ll make sure my nephew Grant receives one next year when he’s old enough. Such a sweet tradition to add to our family. We’ll see where Telly ends up tomorrow!!! Oh…and I didn’t have to drag the girls out of bed this morning, they woke up on their own before my alarm went off, on the search for Telly!! He’s doing a great job already, lets just see how behavior reflects at school today!! I love Christmas if you can’t tell….23 days until the big guy arrives!
