Jack is back...


Jack, the elf has returned for another year. Eleanor SCREAMED this morning when she saw him on the mantel. You see, last year Santa sent Jack to us before Christmas. He came with a book, explaining his story and the kids got to name him. Jack comes to our house around the holidays and watches the kids all throughout the day and then every night he flies to see Santa and report on the kids' day. The most exciting thing every morning at our house is not the candy in the advent calendar, not turning on the Christmas light, it is finding where Jack is at for that day.
Welcome back, Jack!
(and yes...i still need to iron the stockings!)

What is the book called for this tradition? I love it! I also saw the elf, Ben, on the Meiska's blog. Let me know what the book is. I think Drew is a little young, but I love the thought.
