{Our Elf on the Shelf "Curly"}

My mom {Grandma Champlin} wrote a letter to Santa this year and asked for an elf friend to visit our family. And this morning he arrived! in a perfectly wrapped box with a label from the north pole. The kids named him "Curly" because of his curly hair. They are excited for him to stay with us until Christmas eve, and are excited for him to report to santa each night on their good of bad deeds! We are excited to see what shenanigans our elf will get into while he's staying with us and i will document here each day :) His paper work came with news from Santa and he wants us to remember our Saviour Jesus Christ at this time, and that the best gift we can give is the gift of kindness and so the elf will be watching us closely to see how we are doing on this each day. should be a great experience and we are so excited! thanks mom~!

The kids couldn't stop hugging our new friend "curly"
