Meet Jack......

Back in October when I was shopping for "My Big Giveaway" gifts I was in one of my favorite little shops here in SA, Moon Mippy . While I was shopping there I came across "the ELF on the SHELF." It is a box that comes with a miniature elf and a storybook. It is a new tradition that we have started over here at The Mullins household. It is such a fun, cute, and very creative idea. What it is exactly is (and I am quoting the box here), "The sole responsibility of the ELF is to watch the children's behavior and report it Santa every night." "The next morning after the children wake up, they discover that the ELF has returned from the North Pole and was now resting in a new and different place." We opened the box after we got home from our Thanksgiving break. Hudson was SO excited because we have been talking about opening it for a couple of weeks now. When you read the book for the first time it instructs you to name your ELF. Hudson immediately came up with Jack the ELF. I thought it was a perfect name for our ELF. He looks like a Jack, I think. Jack hangs out on our mantle everyday and takes good notes to Santa every night. It has been so fun finding Jack each morning. Hudson can hardly wait to see where he landed. He has been telling Jack secrets too about what he wants for Christmas. I also caught him telling Jack today that Harper was throwing a lot of fits lately and that she probably won't get a baby doll. The stinker!!! Soooo meet our latest holiday tradition, the Mullins Elf, Jack!! Here are a few places Jack has been lately!

And this is where Jack camps out most of the day. He takes really good notes for Santa from up there!!
