"Suzie" Our Elf on a Shelf

So Santa delivered an Elf on the Shelf to our house a few days ago and the girls are just loving the magic she possesses. Suzie, named by Addie, sits on a shelf in our house every day to watch the girls. At night when they are sleeping she will fly to the North Pole to tell Santa if the Jackson girls have been naughty or nice. When she returns she finds a new place to sit. Every morning the girls wake up and go running around the house to find Suzie's new location. They may talk to her but Suzie cannot talk back and they absolutely CANNOT touch her, if they do her magic will be lost. Mommy and Daddy also love the magic of Suzie because all we have to do is say "Suzie is watching" and the girls jump up and do as they were told. Just another fun way to enjoy the magic of Christmas through the eyes of little ones.

Santa

This year we visited Santa with NO TEARS!!! The big girls were anxious to see him and Sophie well she just wanted to be put down. McKenna asked for a unicorn pillow pet and a Barbie laptop. Addie asked for a doggie pillow pet and cupcakes. Sophie was just happy to get her first lollipop. I have to say that this is the best Santa we have seen yet! When we were waiting in the line the girls were sort of jumping and dancing with joy so he got out of his chair and danced with them. He just seemed to have all the time in the world to make them feel special.
