Buddy, The Elf

This past weekend, we welcomed a new member to our family, Buddy the elf.  We decided to start a new tradition, Elf on the Shelf.  The story goes that Santa delivers an elf to your house and each day he watches over you and then flies to the North Pole at night to report to Santa whether or not you've been good or not.  Each morning he flies back to your house, landing in a different spot each time.  No one can touch him or he loses his magic to fly back to the North Pole. 

There was an Elf the Shelf movie on TV on Saturday night, so we had Em watch it (and we recorded it), so she learned all about how our elf worked.  She paid a lot of attention to the fact that she couldn't touch him, only talk to him.

When I woke her up this morning, she was very excited to go downstairs and see where Buddy had landed.






 Here was another of Buddy's landing spots, do you see him?
