We have had a surprise visitor come to Grandma and Grandpa’s over the past weekend. It was Santa! Although he was surely quick and sneaky and we didn’t get to see him, he left a present under the tree for each of the boys! I thought I seen him so I called the boys to come see if they can see Santa driving away in his sleigh and Hayden was sure he could!
The boys opened their present and wasn’t too sure about it. Santa had come and left them each one of his Elves. They came in a shelf box with a book to tell us why he was sent to us from Santa. We read the story and found out that our new little elf buddy is to watch over Hayden during the day and when he goes to sleep at night he heads back to the North Pole to give Santa a naughty or nice report. Then he returns to our house before Hayden wakes up. We got to name our Elf and Hayden named him Towbell. I have no idea where it came from but it was the first thing he mentioned when we asked what he wanted to name his Elf. Landen named his Leonardo. Now we know where that one came from. That boy loves the Ninja Turtles!
The first night that we had Towbell, we set him on Hayden’s night stand right next to his bed. When he woke up Towbell was gone. So we searched the house for him and found him in the living room on the sofa table. Hayden has asked me if he had batteries so he could walk but I explained to him that this little Elf is a special magic Elf sent from Santa so he doesn’t need any batteries.
The next night came and Hayden had asked Nate to hold Towbell while they slept so he couldn’t get away. (Nate sleeps with Hayden until he falls asleep but more often than not he ends up in there the entire night.) Even though Daddy held him, Towbell still disappeared and went back to the North Pole. When we woke up Hayden thought for sure there was no way Towbell could have went anywhere so he was searching his blankets and all around his bed but there was no sign of Towbell. I was afraid Towbell didn’t make it back because Hayden has been a little on the naughty side but sure enough he did make it back and was sitting on top of Hayden’s coat that was hanging on the railing. Hayden found him and the look on his face was so hilarious. He just glared at Towbell like Towbell was the naughty one! It was so funny!! So before we left the house for the day Hayden decided he better put Towbell back in his box and he tied his legs up with the red twisty ties that he was originally attached to the box with.

This has been the most fun entertaining thing for all of us this holiday season! To see Hayden’s face as he is trying to figure things out is just priceless! I hope that this little Elf of ours keeps the holiday spirit in our home for years to come!
