Mr. Elfie

     Look who came to our house.  I first heard of the Elf on the Shelf from Angie Smith's blog.  It sounded cute and thought it would be a great family tradition to start.  So out I went on a mission to find Mr. Elfie as Hannah later named him.  Now keep in mind that it was around 2 weeks before Christmas when I read about Mr. E from Angie's blog.  I started out at Hallmark #1, no luck then Hallmark #2 no luck and proceeded to go to everyone in a 25 mile radius and guess what, they were sold out everywhere.  I had about given up when I was in Borders and saw someone looking at the last Mr. E.  I ran towards her and almost spilled my coffee all over her.  I think I scared her because she looked at me with a smile and then gently put Mr. Elfie back on the shelf.  What do you think I did??  I did what any other mother who wants to start a new tradition with her 2 small kids, I grabbed him and ran.
