Oh, One More Thing - How Could I Forget About LEO?


When we got back from our Thanksgiving vacation we got busy pretty quickly on getting the house all decorated for Christmas. Lucas and Sophia did an awesome job helping me decorate our tree.

We have an "Elf on the Shelf" that we named Leo. He is our family's magical elf that watches over us during the day and reports back to Santa at the North Pole while we're sleeping. Every time he returns from the North Pole, he lands somewhere different in the house so we have a great time looking for him each morning when we wake up. We're really going to miss him when Christmas is over and we won't be able to see him again until next year.
I am going to miss Leo particularly because he is a great tool for keeping the kids in line. If they start acting up I just start talking to Leo and telling him that he's going to have to report back to Santa that they are not being nice. It's amazing how quickly their behavior turns around. I wish we could have a magical Christmas elf all year around!
