Goodbye Elfie

We found a letter left by Elfie our elf on Christmas morning:

Dear Taylor family,

Thank you very much for letting me come visit you this month. I have really enjoyed watching Jordan and Nathan be good boys. Jordan is very good at sharing his toys with his friends and helping his dad with the dishes. He is a wonderful helper. Nathan is still learning many new skills like crawling and talking.

Each night I traveled to the North Pole to report to Santa. I told him that Jordan always put his bowl on the counter after breakfast and that he handed Nathan a toy or his binky when his mommy asked him to. He spoke very nicely to his mom and dad and was patient when his mommy asked him to be. I also told him that Nathan tries to be good just like his big brother. Santa said he would put Jordan and Nathan on the nice list and bring them each a gift under the tree.

As you can see, I am not here. I am out helping Santa deliver gifts for Christmas - it’s a big job! You won’t see me for a while because I will be working with the other elves in the North Pole to help Santa prepare for next Christmas. I will miss you very much. Remember to be nice and always listen to your parents, because I will be back next Christmas time to make sure you’re doing what’s right.

Merry Christmas!

Your friend,

Elfie the elf

**Thank you Elfie for the magic (and good behavior) you brought into our home this Christmas**

Elfie spent his last day in the freezer preparing for the year ahead at the North Pole.
