Our Elf on the Shelf ("Elfie") arrived on December 1, and he brought a special gift for the boys... Magic Elf Seeds. {Tiny cookie decorations in the shape of Christmas trees.} What is more exciting this time of year than a little Christmas magic???
Our sweet Elf on the Shelf also brought this letter from Santa -- directly from the North Pole. Isn't it darling? (You can find some fun stationary here.)
The letter contained this poem (which you are welcome to use, but please don't reprint it without written consent from me):
Plant in sugar,
Sprinkle with snow,
Wait for the magic,
And see what will grow. *(copyright East Coast Mommy)
Of course, we followed the instructions in Santa's letter, and we planted our seeds in sugar (and sprinkled them with icing sugar aka "snow").

And look what happened while we were sleeping. They grew into cookie pops!
Don't you just love the magic of Christmas with little ones? I am treasuring these years with my sweet little boys. I hope Elfie brings Magic Elf Seeds next year!
