Alvin Sightings....

Over the holidays, our elf "Alvin" was a little more creative than last year.  However he is always sure to stay where little hands can't touch him, because if they touch him....he loses his Christmas magic.  The story of our elf..he arrives once we put up our Christmas tree and each night he goes back to the North Pole to report to Santa how the kids have been behaving.  When he comes back, he is always in a different spot the next morning.  The kids love coming downstairs in the mornings to find out where Alvin might be.  However, at their ages...if they don't find him right away, they get bored and forget about him.  He leaves Christmas Eve when Santa arrives and goes back to the North Pole until next year.  Each Christmas Eve morning he brings the kids a farewell gift of new Christmas pajamas.  Blake named the elf Alvin (he was really into Alvin & The Chipmunks at the time).  The kids just adore him and it keeps the Christmas magic alive in the Arbaugh household!
