Pig Is Back!


Last year we started the "Elf on a Shelf" tradition in our home. It is cute and Ava seem to really enjoy it even though it really hasn't made her behave any better. The elf, which Ava named Pig last year (go figure), arrives during the holiday season and is one of Santa's helpers. He watches the kids during the day and reports back to Santa while we are asleep. When Ava wakes up in the morning, she has to find Pig since he moves to a different spot in the house when he gets back to the North Pole each night. And there is a rule that if you touch him, his magic wears off. Ava is VERY strict about that rule. The hard thing is remembering to move it each night. I have to give John the credit for keeping Mr. Pig's spirit alive this year.
