Elf on the Shelf

I know it's been a while, but we have been busy around here trying to get ready for the holidays.  Probably the most fun the kids have had this season is sharing everything with "Dell."  Dell is our Elf on the shelf.  Even though he has been around for a couple of years, this year has been my favorite so far.  With the kids being 4, 3, and 2 they are at such a fun age.  There is so much joy and excitement in their little bodies.  They hop out of bed every morning in search of Dell, they travel together and jump up and down screaming with delight when they find him.  He has been talked too, read too and even sang too on many occasions.  As much as the kids enjoy the search in the morning, sometimes my husband and I just liked to have a little bit of fun.  I wish I would have taken more pictures this year, but these are the ones I got.
