See anyone hiding in this tree??Preparations for Christmas are in full swing over at our house! We got our tree up & all the decorations out the day after thanksgiving & have enjoyed all the lights & various countdown calendars since then!
After a phone call Daddy made to Santa during our thanksgiving travels, Santa sent us one of his elves to keep watch over the boys.
Each day when the kids wake up, he is perched in a new spot & at night he reports back to Santa how the day has gone in the Moss house. The boys love this little elf & run down the stairs each morning to see where he is going to be that day! 
One day, he flittered off in the middle of the day to report to Santa because things weren't going well at all. But for the most part, he's reported all good things. Hopefully this means the boys are still on the "nice" list.
We got this idea from the "Elf on a Shelf" that is sold in stores with a book describing how the elf is Santa's helper & watches everything, reporting back to the North Pole each night. He comes back & sits in a new spot each day. I am way too frugal to buy the real deal, when i personally think the elf in that kit is a little eery looking & i knew we could find a cheaper alternative. So, when we were in TN the weekend past thanksgiving, i found a perfect Elf in the Hobby Lobby for $6.50!! The day he arrived in our house, Jackson immediately wanted to know if he knew how they behaved everywhere or just in the house. That is typical Jackson right there. He wants to know how he can behave where!
