It was the strangest thing: he arrived on December 11, 2011 sometime during bath time. We came downstairs and found him happily perched on our Christmas tree and he had brought a book as well explaining what he was doing there. Apparently, Santa needs some help in watching all of the kids, so he sends elves out to help him keep track of who's on the Naughty & Nice lists. We were tasked with giving him a name - Emme wanted Buddy (a little too much Elf, I'd say) and Jackson named him Tiny Foot. Evidently, Jackson saw some Native American in him that we could not!
He was quite the stinker throughout his stay - pulling all sorts of pranks on us. He wrapped our Christmas tree in toilet paper, turned our milk red & green, went fishing in the potty for goldfish & then fried his catch, played in the toothpaste, napped in Jackson's bed, hung out with the birds on Emme's mobile, had a tea party, rode a dinosaur...so many crazy things, I can't even name them all! On Christmas Eve, he brought Christmas pjs and a note from Santa saying both Emme & Jackson had made the Nice list. We haven't seen him since!
