Cheeky our Elf

This year we had a great surprise  Some Unknown person delivered an Elf on the Shelf via Amazon. We don't have any idea who this person is. I want to say Thank You .   At a time when we were incredibly stressed out. See previous posts as to why. Being able to adopt our elf we call Cheeky gave us something excited to look forward to every day. Even my big kids were excited to see what he had done while we were sleeping. For my hubby and I it gave us a reason to do something fun and silly at night to surprise the kids which was a much needed distraction. My Hubby really got into it. The Evil Gingerbread man trapping Cheeky in the Manger was completely his idea and he did it all by himself. Now that Christmas has passed and Cheeky has returned to the North Pole we really miss him. Elliot misses talking to him every day and asking him questions. I miss having something fun to do for the kids every night. Cheeky was a very good listener. One day Elliot told him he really wanted Candy Canes and the next morning Cheeky was hanging in Elliot's stocking and all the boys stocking had a Candy Cane sticking out of it. Another day Cheeky heard Dylan talking about how much he wanted to make sugar cookies but Gluten Free mixes were hard to find and make. Cheeky left us regular and Gluten Free mixes that week. Elliot said Cheeky was really helpful. He really liked the fact that Cheeky decorated the fridge to look like a snowman since we had seen that on Pinterest and wanted to do that. Since Cheeky did it we didn't have to. Thank you Cheeky for all the surprises you left for us. We can't wait to see you next year.
