Santa and his Elf

Who are these gigantic kids on Santa's lap, because there is no way they could be mine. Mac's legs look a mile long and Cam looks almost too bid to sit on his lap. They were really sweet about Santa. Cam talks to him every time we go to the mall, but Mac has been scared to death of him. Mackenzie told him that she wanted the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Cam told him he wanted small face Robin. Last week we got "The Elf on the Shelf". He is a little elf who comes with a sweet story about how he watches the kids and makes sure they are being good so he can report back to Santa. Each night he flies back to the North Pole and tells Santa what he saw all day. When the kids wake up the next morning he is sitting somewhere different to watch them. The story explains to them that he is magic and they cannot touch him. It says they can talk to him and he can hear them, but he is under strict orders from Santa not to talk back. They have been so cute with him. Cam came up with the name Redwhite because of the color of his suit. They have been on pretty good behavior since Redwhite has been in our house. If they start to fight with eachother they tell Redwhite they are sorry. The other day I was having Cam pick up all of the Batman toys that he dumped out in his room and he told me that Redwhite was watching and if I didn't help him pick up I wouldn't get any toys for Christmas.

Too funny! I think I'm going to need to borrow Redwhite and just keep him out all year long.
