The Blacks

{Meet Jake}.....our elf on the shelf. Jaxen was getting really worried because his elf had not shown up yet and he had been waiting for a hundred years. Jake finally made his appearance with his little car and his trunk and Jaxen was really excited. Jake was waiting for us on the porch and Jaxen let him in. He looked at him and wasn't to impressed, he thought he was kind of ugly and where on earth was his eyes. At my defense I had searched everywhere for the original elf on the shelf and with no luck ran on to Jake at the last minute. Jaxen who is smarter than a whip figured out really quickly that without eyes he could do whatever he wanted because he wouldn't be able to see him. I had to make up a big story about magic eyes and blah, blah, blah. Jaxen loved Jake and couldn't wait to see what book or surprise he was going to get. What a great idea for small kids, they love it. Can't wait till Jake makes his big return next year...Life is good.
