Elves!

There has been a lot of talk about elves in the Benscoter household this holiday season ... First, our Elf on the Shelf (whom we named Rupert) came to live with us. Ellen had a great time hunting for Rupert every morning to see where he decided to hang out after returning from the North Pole where he went to give Santa a report each night. The Elf on the Shelf soon became our favorite bedtime story and the movie by the same name was watched over and over again thanks to our DVR.

Ellen was exposed to more elves when we went to visit Macy's 8th floor display. She loved all of the scenes, but her favorites were definitely the polar bear and dancing pig, the elf whose face was covered in chocolate, the elf with a present stuck on his head, and the elf walking on stilts.

We can't wait until next year when Rupert returns to our house for the holidays and we can revisit A Day in the Life of an Elf at Macy's!

Rupert the elf.
