My Christmas Elves




Speaking of elves....my boys have an elf that visits them during Christmas every year and has since they were very little. Ichabod is the sole reason that my boys gave up their pacifiers and were finally potty trained! See...Ichabod leaves a letter to each boy on our tree sometime during the Christmas season and tells them what they need to work on before he and Santa can make a stop at our home on Christmas Eve. We have left the paci's and potty training behind and now Ichabod tells them things like...they need to have a better attitude, no talking back, respect, and make wise decisions. Now, if only we could catch him one time so that we could thank him for his years of help! ;) Do any of you have a friendly elf too?

Well, thanks to you we have an elf as well. Our elf's name is Snickerdoodle. I have a feeling Snickerdoodle is going to leave a letter tonight for our girls. Such a cute idea.
