elf on the shelf intro

we are living with my parents right now and i figured what better time to invite our elf on the shelf than when living with the 7 year old little girl who is questioning her belief on all things magical.  although i have to admit i'm kind of smitten with minty myself!!  our elf is named peppermint but prefers that we call him minty.  today he brought a special letter from santa claus with instructions and information about our elf and doughnuts for the whole family, including himself what a smart elf!  we are so excited to see what happens every day this holiday season! 
Merry Christmas all!!
