A Special Visitor

 Santa made a special visit to our house Monday during nap time.  He left hot cocoa and oreo pops for Griff and Mommy and a few little marshmellows for Ella. :) Santa also dropped off a special present for the kids, Elf on the Shelf!  Griff was so excited about his new friend, and decided to name him...Elf (so original, think we're going to try the naming thing again next year).  When I told him Elf would be watching his behavior and reporting back to Santa, and he quickly asked me to take him off the mantle...ha!  After some convincing Elf is a part of the family and working out nicely.  Griffin loves to find his new spot every morning.  I just love family traditions, some old and some new!  

 Looks yummy!
