There is something so magical about being able create and start you own family traditions. I heard about Elf on a Shelf a couple of years ago and knew that was one we would adopt at our house, but the time had to be just right. Well a certain 2 1/2 year old is at the perfect age this year and I can already hear, "I don't think you want Ernie to tell Santa that you are crying to get what you want!" HA! Love it.
Since we were in Naples last week for Thanksgiving (which was an amazing trip by the way, pictures to come) we didn't get the tree up until today. I waited to introduce our new elf friend until today so I could justify why he appeared. Claire was EXCITED! We thought of lots of names and Ernie the Elf stuck. She blew him a kiss before she went to bed and told him everything she did to help mommy today so he can tell Santa. So fun. Claire is now sleeping and Ernie is on his long flight to the North Pole to report to Santa. Where will he be tomorrow morning when Claire wakes up?
