We have been enjoying the Christmas season here in the Rogers household! Stockings are hung by the fireplace, a fresh Christmas tree is decorated with special ornaments, lights adorn the outside of the house, and festive candles are lit many nights;) We love this time of year and look forward to building traditions and making this time special for our little family.
First, here's Santa's little helper, Andrew:
Before you watch this video, let me give you a little background information. We started "Elf on the Shelf" with Aiden this year. The idea is that the elf watches little boys and girls during the day at home and reports to Santa whether the children have been good or bad. Although Aiden doesn't understand this concept, we hide "Elfie" each morning and go on a big elf hunt until we find him! He loves this part of the day and continues to point out elf all day long.
Now, a couple funny things that have happened with this tradition...First, as a family, you are supposed to name your Elf. I would imagine most households have an elf named "Elfie", "Mr. Elf", or something similiar. Well, somehow, our little elf got the strange name of "House"! So throughout the day we are looking for House and hearing his name all day long! The second strange occurence with "House" is that one day earlier this month, House fell to the floor. Aiden quickly pointed out his boo-boo and wanted ice for House. (Our little rugrat loves to get ice every time he has a boo-boo!). So now, Aiden loves to give House boo-boos and yell for ice. So I have to say that House has gone through his share of tumbles and falls this Christmas season and Aiden better hope that despite his rough handling of House this year, he will get a good report to Santa this year. Let's just hope that House gets better treatment in the years to come or Santa won't be making a stop at the Rogers household!
