We awoke to a wonderfully magical little elf in our dining room this morning. He brought a "North Pole Breakfast" of red and green pancakes, with syrup of course, fruit, and strawberry milk. We spent some of the morning watching Landen gaze up at him with such excitement, then read the book he brought while we ate. Landen named him "Buddy".
Landen probably won't grasp the whole concept of Buddy this year, but we know it will be better and better as he grows up. He is going to have a blast searching for him every morning, and he knows he is Santa's elf. This time of year is so special, especially through the eyes of a small child. Traditions like this one are what we have looked forward to since we found out we were pregnant.
So for today, Buddy will hang out on our chandelier and keep tabs on Landen. I wonder where we will find him in the morning after he returns from checking in with Santa. I know one little boy who will be excited to find him!
