The kids woke up and immediately went to check out the Elf- who was NOT in his spot!
So began the great Elf hunt. Where was he? Why wasn’t he back from visiting Santa? Is he coming back? What will happen if he doesn’t come back? OK, maybe it wasn’t SO great since it only lasted about 20 minutes.
Eventually he was spotted when I asked the lass to check out the temperature outside. There he was, perched up on the shelf above the thermometer, carefully noting all that was going on in the house. The kids stared at him for a few moments, assessing the unexpected revelation that Sparky was not where he had been left last night.
How come he changed positions? Why is he over there? Can he talk to us now? I want to ask him about Santa! Can I ask him for more toys?
Thanks Sis.
