Magic, Day 3, 11/26/12

Mmm, today Magic has brought Gracie a yummy treat....kind of a thank you for being good yesterday! :-)  She was holding the treat for Gracie, while she was snuggling among the snowmen on the stairs, and she passed on the message through Mom that it was for being good.  One happy Gracie....and I think the candy just might have went to school lol.

Magic, Day 2, 11/25/12

This morning Gracie discovered that Magic had moved into a different room.....and left her a message!  She found her in the kitchen sitting on the chalkboard, holding a piece of chalk.  Magic reminded Gracie that there is only one month until Christmas.

Magic, Day 1, 11/24/12

No sleeping in this morning for this Mom!  Gracie woke up and was SO excited to go see where her Elf had moved to and what she was doing that Mom just had to get up too and see, lol.

She was absolutely delighted to find Magic here:

Magic 'stole' 2 of our ornaments off of the tree, got some ribbon and was doing gymnastic moves from the fireplace! :-)  Well done Miss Elf, well done!!

Meet Magic the Elf

Introducing the newest member of our family (at least during the Christmas season)....Magic the Elf....

Gracie has been asking for an Elf on the Shelf for several years.  One of her teachers did this a couple of years ago and she loved it.    Elf on the Shelf was a new thing for me a few years ago.  This year we decided to welcome her (yes, our Elf is a girl) into our family and start this new tradition.

As per our instructions in the storybook (which we all sat down together and read), Gracie chose the first spot to put Magic in the first night.  She chose the newly set up Christmas tree.

I, for one, am really looking forward to Magic's adventures this Christmas season!
