Elfina!

I have always loved Christmas time. I loved the fact that my mom always kept the Christmas spirit alive no matter how old we were. We had fantastic traditions and great memories growing up. Now that I have my own family, I have had so much fun coming up with our own traditions for the holiday season. This year, a new tradition began, and her name is Elfina. We woke up on the morning of December 1st, and there was a surprise waiting for us straight from the North Pole. It was opened immediately, and inside was the cutest little elf you ever saw! There was a note from Santa, and all the ingredients to make super cool North Pole cookie ornaments. The note told us that we had to name his elf helper. Adilyn's first choice was Eagle, and Kacy's first choice was Merliah. We compromised on Elfina. Each night Elfina leaves the house, and she travels to the North Pole to chat with Santa about the girls. She returns the next day, and she ends up in a new spot each morning. Our sweet, little elf also brings tiny gifts or Christmas type things back from Santa. It has been really fun having her in our house.The first night Adilyn was a little nervous about her being here. At bedtime she said, "It feels weird to have an elf in our house. It feels a little weird in my brain." She soon realized that Elfina was a happy, sweet elf - nothing to be worried about.  Kacy woke up the very first morning and couldn't wait to find her! She has lots of magical powers, and she even turned our milk green this morning! What a crazy little elf girl!
