Jackie- our scout elf

I am not sure if I have introduced Jackie to you! He is the scout elf, (Ally named him), that joined our family this year & he will be back every year after thanksgiving from here on out! He watched over Ally & Little D so he could report back to Santa. Every night once the kiddos are in bed, Jackie will go to the North Pole & tell Santa all about the kids day...then he returns in the morning in a different place.
Once Christmas Eve comes.......he will be missed. He will go back to the North Pole and not return again until November 2009.


Alexandra has had a lot of fun finding Jackie every morning! Sometimes she yells at him letting him know that she doesn't like him- but it seems that he is a pretty forgiving elf.



daddy reading the elf on the shelf book to the kids......he arrived with a book. (v. cute)

This was Jackie's arrival spot.

One day Jackie was in the smoke alarm!! Crazy elf!

I have to say this is the cutest thing that I have seen in a long time! The book explains everything to the kids & it has the rules too!! No touching- because Jackie will lose his magic -he is also under orders from Santa not to talk etc. Cute and Fun!!
