Jack the Elf

I decided to start the Elf tradition this year and on the night of Thanksgiving he arrived. Our doorbell rang so Kate and I went to the door and found an elf and a book. We sat down to read the book and learn all about the elf. Kate decided to name him Jack which I'm glad because Brody can pronounce it as well. They were both very excited about him and I had to remind them not to touch him. Every night before Kate goes to bed, she say "I wonder where Jack is going to be in the morning?". Brody has found him a couple of times, he points to him and says "Jack, Jack". Jack did end up in Kate's room one night which I hope he doesn't again because at 3 AM, I hear Kate screaming "Mommy, Mommy". I run out of the bedroom telling her, "I'm coming, its okay" to which she replies "I found Jack, he's sitting on my bookcase." I guess she had gotten up to use the restroom and saw him. So far, Jack has hidden in the tree, stocking, pantry, in my shoe, on the kitchen light, behind the pillows, on the table, in the bathroom, on the staircase and in the cookie dish. Who knows where he will turn up next.
