Santa Santa Santa

Well we have a little over 2 weeks until Christmas and Alex can not wait. This year he is so into Santa it is crazy! We did the elf on the shelf last year and have brought it out again this year. The first day he saw it he went around the house getting books and toys and wrapping them for Santa and the elf. I of course forgot to hide them that night so a million questions came at me the next day about why the elf had not taken them. Which meant I had to come up with some little white lies to tell him. ( FYI when you are a parent it is okay to lie to your kids)
So I took them and hide them under my bed thinking he would not find them and of course he did. Another lie out of my mouth to him, but he bought it. Everyday at least 1927347889219 times he tells me how many days until Christmas, just to make sure I do not forget. Today he had his Christmas shop at school to get gifts for everyone and he was so excited he showed me everything right when he got home. He actually did pretty good. He got me a necklace, Addie a little tiger, Zach a little night light and well he got Rob goo. But he said that daddy has to share it with him.
I love how excited he is and I know I will love the look on his face when he opens his gifts but sometimes my ears need a break and so does my brain. I can only answer so many questions about Santa and his elves.... pretty soon I might run out of lies!
