Stocking Returned

On December 1st, our family Elf, Stocking returned.  He comes every year right before Christmas and helps to remind us to be good.  Every night he is suppose to report back to Santa in the north pole. 

Stocking just didn’t arrive one night he arrived with a big breakfast feast.  John and the three older kids were playing basketball at the church and Gianluca and I were sleeping while our sneaky little Elf made us breakfast. ( I didn’t think to take pictures of it until breakfast was over).

He surprised us with delicious muffins, strawberries and bananas in the shape of a candy cane and chocolate milk. 

He also brought us each letters from Santa reminding us to behave.  Each one of us was given an area where we can improve. 

A few days later more of Santa Secret Friends came and surprised us with breakfast while I was sleeping. I woke up to the table set up with chocolates.  I had to remind the Elf, that we couldn’t have chocolate every morning or else I am sure some of Santa’s sneaky friends would of had chocolate on the table every morning when I woke up. 

We had a fun time trying to find stocking every morning (as he hides in a new spot each night).  There were a few nights he didn’t move because the kids were too naughty. 

The kids love Stocking and can’t wait for him to come back next year.
