Sally Sparkle

I am a little ashamed to admit that I totally jumped on the bandwagon this year and decided to have an elf on the shelf for our kids this year leading up to Christmas.  She is a little doll that supposedly is watching you for Santa.  The story is that the elves go to the North Pole every night to report to Santa and come back every day to keep watch.  We told the kids she can't be touched or she would lose the magic to get back to the North Pole.  Our elf on the shelf was a girl (the only one left at target) and the kids named her Sally Sparkle.  They each picked a name and that is what we came up with.  We made her do some crazy things at night and the kids would wake up each morning and look for what she had done overnight.

Getting in the chocolate chips

Decorating the tree with underwear

Dumping a load of magnetic letters

Turning the milk green

She knows the real reason for Christmas!

This was fun for Dave and me to do for the kids although it got to be a little tricky trying to think of new things for her to do!  Next year we will have to start a little later in the season!
