Our Elf on the Shelf, Buddy, has been visiting us this month! He sure has had a fun time at the Steiner house! Every morning, W and J have raced downstairs to see where Buddy was and what he was up to! And Mommy and Daddy have sure had fun with Buddy too! ;-)

Goodbye Buddy!
 |
| The boys usually don't get to touch Buddy (or he'll lose his magic/ability to fly back to the North Pole), but they each gave him a hug goodbye! And they had to try some of the snacks we left for Santa and the reindeer too! Silly boys! |
What a great month with our special elf! Can't wait to see you again next December, Buddy!
