Tricky, our Elf

Our kids were so excited again to have our Elf on the Shelf, Tricky visit for the holidays.  He was one of the reasons we ran late to school each day because the kiddos had to get up and race around to find him each morning.  He did a good job of keeping them on their toes!  Emerson loved writing notes to him and Santa.  We enjoyed having him visit each day and are looking forward to him visiting next year!

On Christmas Eve morning, I found Emerson sitting beside Tricky and the tree patiently waiting for someone to wake up and read the note Santa left (it was in cursive).  Santa explained that since they had been so good, they could carefully play with Tricky and Santa would pick him up that night and let him ride back in the sleigh.  They both took turns playing with him all day.  Emerson cried when we told her it was almost time for him to return to the North Pole! :(  This girl loves deep!!
I love this magical time of year!
