If you have an Elf on the Shelf, he’s probably a pretty fun little guy! Our elf, Peter, delivered a great present to us a few weeks ago and I wanted to share it with you!
Remember when I told you our elf brought me a disk with Santa’s stationery? This is when he did that, along with some magic seeds!!
This is what his letter said… (You might want to show your elf. Tell him to copy this text and insert it into Santa’s Stationery if he wants to do the same thing!)
Dear____________,
YOUR ELF’s NAME HERE has told me you have been very good! He was so excited to get back to your house that he wanted to bring you a present. Because you have been behaving nicely, I told him he could take you some of his magic elf seeds.
These seeds are very special and you must be EXTRA good for them to grow!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Follow these instructions carefully:
Plant your seeds in a big bowl of sugar. Then sprinkle with salt, a little each day.
Please take note, if you sprinkle too much they will just fade away.
Be extra good and very patient for the magic to work on the seeds.
For if you misbehave, you might break the magic. I hope you will do good deeds.
If you follow these directions and behave just right.
You should get something special in two short nights.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
If you keep being good, I will bring you both a special present on Christmas Eve.
Love,
Santa
We waited two nights. (Oh, that was HARD!) Then look at what grew that afternoon? WOW! Magic cookies!
This HAD to be magic from the North Pole, because there is no way Mommy could make such beautiful gingerbread cookies!!
I have been looking around the internet and saw someone’s elf do this, so maybe our Peter is friends with their elf?

What has your elf been up to? I’d love to hear in the comment section here. Maybe we can all give our elf a few new ideas!
I just can’t believe how classy they look. They’re awesome! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful things. I just hope I could get them all done before Christmas.

Our “Elfie” said to say hit to Peter. {wink}

Amy, you have the free download for the Cookie Party on the right side bar of this Post. I have tried to to download it a couple of times (even updating Adobe Acrobat) but it will never open. The Comments on that Post have other people who can’t get it to download also. Please advise what I can do to download this before it is no longer free.

Last night our Elf Will tp’d our Christmas Tree!! Wrapped toilet paper all the way around it! Kids thought it was a hoot. The night before Will taped a whole bunch of pictures of himself on our tv and wrote “you are watching Will t.v.! By far the best fun we have in the mornings before school. Wish I would have thought of Elf on the Shelf.
