First we adopted one of Santa's Elf's. Vanessa decided to name him Elfie. Elfie's job was to watch over Vanessa every day. Once Vanessa was off to bed, Elfie would head back to the North Pole and report to Santa how Vanessa had been that day. The next morning, Elfie would come back home and Vanessa would find him in a different place each day.
Next Vanessa received her very first letter from the North Pole! Santa told Nessa that he was watching to see how she was behaving. Vanessa was so excited to receive mail and mail from SANTA himself!! She was so thrilled, that she posted the letter along with all our other Christmas cards.
On Christmas Eve, Ashley (Vanessa's Godmother) introduced her to yet another tradition. She brought Reindeer food for Santa's Reindeer. Vanessa was so happy to go out side at night and sprinkle food for the deer!!
And of course, we set out our cookie plate and a cup of milk for Santa! This Christmas was so special because I was so excited for my daughter! Her face in excitement was pure joy to my heart and I knew she understood what was going on which made it twice as touching!

SO CUTE!!! Feed the reindeers? I love that idea! Mya has been asking all kinds of crazy Christmas questions, so we had to break it down to her. Elf on a Shelf could've helped greatly!
