I came home from work this morning to find that Fitzy the Elf on the Shelf had made a snowman. I know that this truly tickled the kids. They love having an elf in the house and the love the little movie and all the things that go along with having an Elf in the house. This year has been a good one because even Andrew is noticing the Elf and he’s excited to go find Fitzy each morning.
We did have one mishap this year. Fitzy was put in the Christmas countdown chain and Eva took off some rings which caused Fitzy to fall. Andrew picked him up and we all know that this takes away Christmas Magic from the Elf. Allison took action and made Fitzy a spot where he could convalesce and get his magic back. He was sprinkled with cinnamon and everything.
I am so very excited to give Eva her set of I Am Elemental action figures. These figures were a Kickstarter campaign that I funded. I did keep the extra figure for my own collection. The full set has seven figures and each is a different element of Courage. We have Bravery, Energy, Honesty, Industry, Enthusiasm, Persistence and Fear. These toys were even named as one of Time Magazines top 25 Inventions of 2014.
Eva is an imaginative girl and also very creative. I think that these action figures are going to inspire her to create stories, art and more. With the figures not having specific names or backstories she is free to create her own stories and ideas. I’m excited to see what she comes up with.
