We had an unexpected guest arrive at our house this morning. She was holding a note that read:
Christmas is approaching, and this is the day
Santa has sent Mrs. Peeps to your house to stay.
He sent this small elf to your house and mine.
The day after Thanksgiving, She must be on time.
Mrs. Peeps has a purpose. Her purpose will be,
To whisper to Santa all the good that she sees.
Soon after she gets here, she moves only at night
To high places, low places, she stays in plain sight.
In the kitchen, for instance, she sits high on a shelf.
Mrs. Peeps can sit anywhere, for she is an elf.
She holds very still when she thinks you are watching.
Her magic is precious, it fades with each touching.
She sits on the tree on Christmas Eve day.
She knows that Santa is soon on his way.
She waits and she waits without making a noise.
She waits until Santa arrives with the toys.
So you better be nice and mind what you say
Because Mrs. Peeps will tell Santa when he comes with his sleigh.
Once Christmas is here and Santa has come,
Mrs. Peeps must leave, for her job is well done.
But, she will return next year on the very same day,
To watch your behavior as you work and play.

Talan heard the doorbell when it rang and ran to the door to see who it was. When he saw Mrs. Peeps he was afraid of her. We tried to get him to hold her but he wouldn't so I had to hold her and Talan to get the photo. However, Lincoln loved Mrs. Peeps. I wonder who will get more presents this year?

You always do the cutest things! I am glad, it gives me good ideas :) Love Lincoln smiling with the elf!
CUTE!! Lincoln is getting so big! I need to come and see him...and you!
that is so cute! I might have to steal that idea. Hopefully it works :)
That is a cute idea. My kids are almost too old for fun stuff like this.
