The day before, the boys had colored pictures for Zeke and put them up on the fridge for him to look at.
First thing this morning, the boys checked the spot where Zeke was the previous day (on the kitchen counter making a flour angel). He wasn't there and our five year old son Isaiah noted that it was a good thing Zeke cleaned up his mess.
We looked to the refridgerator's freezer door where the pictures that the boys colored for Zeke were the previous day. They were no longer there. Instead we saw many new colorful pictures in their place and Zeke sitting on the top of the fridge above them proudly holding a box of crayons.
At first Isaiah thought our elf may have ruined the pictures. But we noticed a note from Zeke stuck on the fridge and Isaiah asked me to read it to them. In his note, Zeke said he liked the pictures that they drew for him so much that he took them back to the North Pole to show Santa and they hung them up there. Isaiah was immediately relieved that nothing bad happened to their pictures and was happy about their new location. Zeke also wrote that he drew pictures for them as well (of his favorite things about Christmas, his friends at the North Pole and of our family) and he hoped that we liked them. The boys loved the pictures and asked if he could please leave them there so we could continue to look at them.

The Elf on the Shelf is a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. When a family adopts an elf and gives it a name, the elf receives its Christmas magic and can fly to the North Pole each night to tell Santa Claus about all of the day's adventures. Each morning, the elf returns to its family and perches in a different place to watch the fun. Children love to wake up and race around the house looking for their elf each morning.
There are two simple rules that every child knows when it comes to having an elf. First, an elf cannot be touched; Christmas magic is very fragile and if an elf is touched it may lose that magic and be unable to fly back to the North Pole. Second, an elf cannot speak or move while anyone in the house is awake! An elf's job is to watch and listen.
Elves typically appear in their families’ homes at the beginning of the holiday season (around Thanksgiving in the U.S.). On Christmas Eve, the elves return to the North Pole with Santa Claus--until next year!

This was written kid-friendly so our children could read it, look at the pictures and enjoy the memories. Our kids are five years old and under so the activities, pranks and treats are mostly for young children. This is just for fun and meant to be shared with others who have fun with it the way that our family does. Please keep these things in mind when reading and commenting. Thank you! ♥
