Sugar Cube the Elf

The Elf on the Shelf came to our house this December.  The kids named him Sugar Cube and liked that he had the same initials as Santa Clause.  Sophie especially loved waking up each morning and running down the stairs calling Sugar Cubes name and finding where he was hiding.  Sugar Cube liked to leave the kids little Christmas jokes, sometimes a treat, and once a singing penguin.  The Elf knew the kids so well that he brought them a present Christmas morning.  It was the Star Wars Encyclopedia-the same book that we had from the library for over a month and the kids fought over it and wanted to look at it daily.  On Christmas day Sugar Cube left a note saying that just on Christmas day the kids have permission to hold him and hug him before he leaves back to the North Pole for a year.  As soon as Sophie had that go ahead Sugar Cube was in her arms and she says shes going to hang onto him forever so he can't leave.  She's even been trying to bribe him to stay with promises that she will share her toys.  
Here were just a few of Sugar Cubes daily hiding spots-

he even made an appearance in the preschool to keep an eye on the preschool kids-




Goodbye till next year Sugar Cube.
