Elf Letters

This is our first year with an "Elf on the Shelf." My aunt surprised them last year with one. Maddie named hers Sam. Jack's elf is Evan & is a little different, in that he's bigger & more like a stuffed-animal. He stays all year, but only becomes magical when he travels with Sam...sort of:0 I know, it's too complicated.

Last night, Maddie decided to write her elf a letter. She wants to know, how Santa flys that sleigh of his. This morning, we found them sitting with Julie & Sparkle & Shine aka Millicent (American Girl Dolls). He wrote back explaining..with a little help from his reindeer & ALOT of magic Santa can fly his sleigh.

This morning, Jack & Maddie both decided to write him letters. But this time, with Jack writing, the letter was full of all kinds of questions. Basically, these elves have questionaires to fill out tonight. I'm hoping they stay awake to get it all done.
