Our Elf Fritz


Our elf Fritz was very busy during the holiday season. He made his way throughout our house and the kids loved having to search for him every morning. I think it became the highlight of their day finding our elf. He was pretty well behaved and only made a few messes that I had to clean up, thank good ness! The kids expecially loved it when he would hide in their rooms. Fritz was a good elf and he helped the kids remember to be good so he could report to Santa how they were behaving. Parker and Paige were especially sad when they learned that Fritz would be leaving out house and returning to the North Pole for the next year. They cant wait for him to return next year, meanwhile I keep reminding them to be good all year long! We will see how long that lasts. We are so glad that this is a new family tradition and we are very excited to have this special elf be a part of many more years of family fun in the years to come!

A New Tradition


We have started a new tradition at our house this year. The Elf on the Shelf. We had a special visitor come to our house, the day after we werent feeling so great. So it was such a nice suprise to see something good and to have something fun and exciting to look forward to. The kids and I named our special elf Fritz. Fritz was sent to our home from Santa Claus to help watch after the kids and their behavior before Christmas time. He then reports back to the North Pole each evening and lets Santa know what the kids have been doing. He can watch them and the kids can talk to him, but he cannot talk back and the kids are not allowed to touch him, because his magic will wear off. So far the kids love getting up each morning and seeing where Fritz is hiding. They talk to him and they are quick to do something I ask them when I remind them that Fritz is watching. Paxten even gets excited when he spots our special Elf. He has also been really great not to touch him. We are thrilled that this has become a tradition and we look forward to the rest of the month and many more years with our new favorite Elf Fritz!!
