She's BACK!!!!!

The boys playing before we watched the video.

With Christmas fast approaching we wanted Talan to know the real meaning behind Christmas not just the gift side. So we watched a Nativity Story,

When we finished watching the video we got out our Nativity and talked about each of the people in the story. While we were getting them all set up the door bell rang,

She is back. Mrs Peeps one of Santa's elves has arrived at our house again. 

Talan was not too excited to see her. But she had a message with her. It 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 is still not sure if he likes Mrs Peeps or not.

He didn't want to get to close to her. He wanted to know how santa was going to pick her up since we don't have a fireplace. He wanted to make sure that she would be leaving.

Lincoln liked Mrs. Peeps, especially when she tickled him.

It looks like Mrs Peeps is here to stay. She found a few new friends to hang out with.

 Later that night I found Talan in our bed, he didn't want to sleep in his bed until Mrs Peeps left. Hopefully he will not be tramitized for life or have some unexplain phobia of elves.
