a secret surprise...

And this year was especially exciting to have our first time visit of this handsome fat fellow, Ralph the Elf came into our home! He's a little different than the traditional Elves that visit! He even left a little note upon his arrival.....

 "Mitchel & Brennen....Hi, I'm Ralph the Elf and I'm here to visit your family. I'm a great little Elf during the day, but I can't help myself with tricks at night. Every morning when you wake up my magic leaves, so you will need to find me & help me back to my spot. But NEVER play with me or my magic will disappear and so will I. Remember I might not move during the day, but I see EVERYTHING you do and I must report it directly to Santa...So BE GOOD, listen to your dad & mom because Santa is coming to town..... Love Ralph the  Elf"
