Elf on a Shelf

MacKenzie is very into Santa this year and really wants to be a good girl for him. So, Santa sent his very own helper to our house to watch over MacKenzie and Mason over the next several weeks to see if they are good. We found Santa's helper last night, and she was sitting on our kitchen counter. We had to read all about her...

First we had to name our elf, which has been named "Daisy". Then, we learned that Daisy watches us and flies back to the North Pole after everyone has gone to sleep to report back to Santa. You can not touch Daisy, but you can talk to her and tell her what you want Santa to bring. Daisy will not talk back, but listens very carefully! Each morning Daisy will be in a new place and we have to find her.

MacKenzie has been amazed with Daisy. Daisy stayed downstairs until MacKenzie and Mason took their bath, then she magically flew into MacKenzie's room and was waiting on her. When MacKenzie found her she started laughing hysterically! She was in complete disbelief that Daisy flew upstairs! It was hilarious! MacKenzie finally went to sleep after staring at Daisy for a long time...When she woke up this morning, she said "Mommy, Daisy flew to see Santa while I was taking a night-night!" It was very cute. We started looking for Daisy, and Mason was actually the first one to find her. She was sitting on Mommy's dresser!

So, Daisy has been a lot of fun so far. And it's working beautifully...anytime MacKenzie starts acting up we remind her that Daisy is watching...it works every time!
