The Magic Elf

Early in December, my girls wrote letters to Santa asking if he could spare an elf to visit us through the holidays. A few days after Santa picked up the letters, a magic elf appeared. She is named Tamara and gets to stay with us until Christmas when Santa must take her back with him to make the toys for next year. Sometimes our elf is nice, but sometimes she's not...as in the pic below. While we were all sleeping, she toilet papered the living room and destroyed Hannah's backpack, but she has become an avid Harry Potter reader! After the kids are out of school this year, many of us are having a "Magic Elf" party before all of our elves go home. I can not tell you what a joy this all is to these families.... these kids talk about their elves everyday and we all laugh at them making a mess of our homes.
