As many of you know, an elf arrived at our house this year, early in the Christmas season.
This little guy--my kids named him James--is the topic of A LOT of conversation amongst my children and their friends and cousins, and he is also now pretty much the central figure in our household.
When the kids wake up in the morning, the first thing they do is look for the elf (who moves at nighttime). If people come to visit, they are led to wherever James is sitting.
Ben, Janae, and Alaina show the elf their toys and tell him what they want for Christmas. Benjamin even gave James his Christmas list, trusting the elf--rather than the postal system--to get it to Santa.
This morning Janae asked me to "look for the elf." Since I knew he was on the counter, I made my way into the kitchen--only to find two more elves also sitting very still on the (very messy) shelf.
I think Janae might have a future in this industry.
Anyway, I guess all we can do now is wait and see what kind of report James makes for these three . . .
naughty or nice?

I would give them a "nice", for sure! Very cute. I hope we get to see you this week! I'll be in touch soon.
Where did Janae get those pajamas--very fancy! I love how your elf is in with the spaghetti:) Glad your kids are enjoying the elf on the shelf!!
Anita--Janae's PJ's came from Grandma!
Very cute! If you could only get children to sit that still when you wanted them to :0)
