Okay parents...are you familiar with the Elf on the Shelf book and toy?  A pretty cool way to get the little kiddies to behave during the holidays...while also playing a hide and seek game every day trying to find the elf.  Carolyn found out...sometimes the elf has a life of its own when we aren't looking.  Very funny and cute!
