Santa sent an elf to watch each of the kids this year right before Christmas. They showed up in the strangest places and disappeared each night to report back to Santa on the kids' behavior. Then they'd come back to a new hiding place the next morning. They popped in and out for weeks leading up to Christmas. We haven't seen them since Christmas Eve.
The kids were terrified the first night and begged Mom to get rid of them. Mom refused to touch them because of the warning note they came with that said their magic would disappear if touched by human hands. The kids finally decided they were dolls with glass camera eyes so Santa could watch their every move. As is normal with Emmie and Clay they would fight with each other or act naughty despite being watched. Once they remembered Santa was watching they would quietly go up to the elves and apologize. Emmie had to go to time-out for some reason which just so happened to be right under where the elves were hiding. She flopped around hysterically screaming, "Don't make me sit where the elves can see!"
We were glad to have the elves visit this year. Santa was good to the kids so he must have seen all the good they did this year. We are hopeful they return next year.
