We have been "ELF'd"
The Potter home has a new family member...
Wendy!
She is our Elf on the Shelf! She arrived on our porch on Friday, December 7th!
The house was full of excitement when she arrived!
We are having fun learning all about Wendy and the kids are SO excited every morning to "seek" her out and see what she has been up too! She has been VERY busy since she arrived...
these are just a few of things we have found her doing-
She likes all the stockings...and even had a few treats for the kids on Saturday morning-
She left us a message on Sunday morning-
Monday morning...she made a bit of a mess-
It will be very interesting to see what else she gets into over the next few weeks!
If you don't have an Elf...you should try to get one!
This is a bit of the story of
The Elf on the Shelf and how it all works-
The tradition begins when Santa sends his
scout elves out to Elf Adoption Centers. Waiting for their families to
bring them home, these patient elves hibernate until their family reads
The Elf on the Shelf, gives their elf a very special name, and registers
their adoption online. Once named, each scout elf will receive its
Christmas magic and become a part of the family’s Christmas each and
every year.
Excellent listeners and even better observers, these scout elves are the eyes and ears of Santa Claus. Although they cannot be touched, or else they may lose their magic, the elf will always listen and relay messages back to Santa. Taking in all the day-to-day activities around the house, no good deed goes unnoticed; these scout elves take their job seriously.
Each night, after the family goes to bed, the scout elf uses his magical Christmas powers to fly back to the North Pole. Once there, the elf will make his or her daily report to Santa and visit with elf friends where they will tell stories about their beloved families, play with the reindeer, and of course, sneak some of Mrs. Claus’ cookies!
Before the family awakes each morning, their special scout elf will fly back to their home from the North Pole. However, since these elves like to play games, don’t expect to find them in the same spot! While some like to hide in the freezer (probably because it reminds them of the North Pole) and others prefer to sit on the fireplace mantle or hang from the chandelier, these elves love to play hide-and-seek with their families.
On Christmas Eve, the scout elf will listen for Santa’s bell and then fly back to the North Pole until the next season, wishing every girl and each boy a Christmas of peace and a year full of joy.
